Objectives: To describe muscle parameters in healthy teenagers and compare them to teenagers with chronic low back pain.
Methods: A comparative study of 276 control teenagers and 51 teenagers with chronic low back pain (CLBP), benefiting from a specific treatment, 14.5 years average age.
Objectives: The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate whether treatment with a carbon brace (CMCR) stops the progression of idiopathic scoliosis in children and adolescents affected by combined or thoraco-lumbar scoliosis.
Method: We compared clinical features (hump and vital capacity) and radiolographic data (Cobb angle, sacral slope, lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis) at brace set-up and removal in 115 children and adolescents with combined or thoraco-lumbar scoliosis. The impact of the brace was evaluated in 2 subgroups: patients who started the treatment at Risser stages 0, 1 or 2 and those who started the treatment at Risser stages 3 or 4.
