  2. Adams Forward Bend Test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adams_Forward_Bend_Test

    This test is often used at schools and doctors' offices to check for scoliosis. The patient bends forward, as if they are diving. If the patient has scoliosis, their back often has a prominent line where the spine is, and one side is higher than the other. A patient's back is completely straight if they do not have scoliosis.

    A quick supplemental screening test for these simple miswiring errors can be performed using a non-contact voltage tester (NCVT) or non-contact voltage detector. [4] If a problem is thus identified, it can be investigated further using more-advanced equipment, or the outlet in question can be de-energized and disassembled for careful scrutiny. [4]

    This technique became known as the Schroth Method. It is a non-invasive technique that can both prevent scoliosis from becoming worse and correct it. The technique is individualized and unique to each person because no two cases of scoliosis are the same. [3] The goals of the Schroth Method are de-rotating, elongating, and stabilizing the spine.

  7. Management of scoliosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_scoliosis

    The management of scoliosis is complex and is determined primarily by the type of scoliosis encountered: syndromic, congenital, neuromuscular, or idiopathic. [1] Treatment options for idiopathic scoliosis are determined in part by the severity of the curvature and skeletal maturity, which together help predict the likelihood of progression. Non ...

    Axial Biotech, Inc. was a privately held molecular diagnostics company based in Salt Lake City, Utah. [1] It was founded in 2002. The company's mission was to deliver diagnostics that improve and personalize the treatment of spine disorders. Axial

  9. Halo-gravity traction device - Wikipedia

    One study conducted on 20 patients with either scoliosis, kyphosis, or kyphoscoliosis found that the most improvement occurred within the first 3 weeks of treatment. According to this study, the spinal curve had improved by 63.7% during the first two weeks, which decreased to 24.3% at 3 weeks, and to 15.9% at 4 weeks. [38]
