Conservative treatment of neuromuscular scoliosis in adult tetraplegia: a case report.

We report successful correction of new onset neuromuscular scoliosis without spinal surgery in a man who is 30-years post-American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale grade A C6 injury with new onset of left neuromuscular scoliosis (Cobb angle 45°) after a motor vehicle collision. Interventions included nightly low-load prolonged stretching (LLPS) (4h left side lying over bolster), a series of 6 botulinum toxin injections (BTIs) at 3-month intervals, and progressive seating adjustments to counteract the spinal curvature. Monthly seating adjustments included rear quadrant wedging, lateral supports, and hip blocking to promote erect and symmetrical posture.
