Research progress in screening and intervention of scoliosis among children and adolescents / 预防医学

ABSTRACT

@#Scoliosis seriously affects the physical and mental health of children and adolescents. Without timely screening and intervention,it will lead to increased deformity,decreased labor capacity,cardiopulmonary complications,back pain and even paraplegia. This article reviews screening and intervention strategies for scoliosis at home and abroad. It concludes that there is lack of scoliosis screening in children and adolescents in China,and the screening results are difficult to compare horizontally because of the significant differences between strategies. It is suggested that scoliosis screening should be included in school healthcare work and formulate strategies with higher accuracy and safety. At the same time,three-dimension technology has good prospects in scoliosis screening and intervention,which is worthy of further development.
