Adult Neuromuscular Scoliosis
Management

Routine patient evaluation and imaging studies will identify the type and location of deformity, overall clinical and functional impairment, pain level and need for non-surgical or surgical intervention. Patients with stable non-progressive deformities who are able to maintain their daily functional activities can be managed conservatively with physical exercises, wheelchair modification and in some instances use of external brace or sitting support orthosis. Patients with progressive deformities, intractacable pain, and respiratory deformities who are medically fit can be considered for surgical intervention.
