Advances on biomechanics of orthotic therapy for idiopathic scoliosis

摘要:

矫形器用于青少年特发性脊柱侧凸 (adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, AIS) 治疗起源于 20 世纪 30~40 年代，在过去的几十年里，矫形器治疗已被证明可以改变 AIS 的自然病史，并减少手术率。虽然矫形器治疗原理已经明确，但对矫形器施加力的大小、最佳矫形器设计等还不是很清楚。本文通过对过往矫形器生物力学研究进行综述，为 AIS 保守治疗提供参考。

Abstract:

Application of orthoses for treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) originated in the 1930s to 1940s. During the last few decades, orthotic treatment has been shown to modify the natural history of AIS and reduce the incidence of surgery. Although the biomechanical principles of orthotic treatment are well established, the magnitude of the forces exerted by orthoses and the optimal orthotic design are not well understood. This article reviews the past orthotic biomechanical research to provide a reference for conservative treat- ment of AIS.
