Our annual contest "Concorsetto" started in 2012. Our patients have never lacked imagination and the desire to participate. Watch on our YouTube channel a summary of the year 2014. youtu.be/kmKa9bJ9KHg All contributions can be viewed here: concorsetto.it

We want to share the story of Lavinia. When she was crowned #MissItalia, she had been wearing a #brace for 5 years: “Thanks to #ISICO and my determination, I’ve improved a lot. Today, even though my #back isn’t completely straight, I now love and #accept my body as it is.”

This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of a newly developed #portable and #radiationfree #threedimensionalspinesensingsystem for #scoliosisassessment, which accurately measured #scoliosis and provided highly reproducible data. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40011891/

On June 26th, @columbiaps opens for the 11th annual best-in-class symposium. Dr Fabio Zaina, physiatrist at ISICO, is presenting his report "Optimizing the Brace: The ISICO Perspective for Adolescents and Adults". For info and registration: bit.ly/11thNonOpSymp #scoliosis

Our patient Alessia, Italian champion in Class A at the 2022 #ItalianChampionships in the Modern/Contemporary Dance category, never stopped #dancing—even while wearing her #brace. “I’ve always believed that, because of my condition, I had something extra and was somehow special.”

The #balancecontroldisorder observed in #adolescentidiopathicscoliosis may stem from #centralnervoussystem dysfunction. As it's unclear if this issue arises from #sensory, #motor, or both systems, this study analyzed them in #females with #AIS. #ISICO pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36418290/

We’re wrapping up this month dedicated to scoliosis with a short video featuring amazing ISICO patients. Even though the road wasn’t easy, they never gave up. We’re sending our best wishes for a smooth, strong, and positive journey ahead! 💪🌟 👉 : youtube.com/shorts/sNrwWP3…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of the #proximalfemurmaturityindex, which can be assessed simultaneously with #Risserstaging without requiring additional #radiationexposure, in determining the appropriate timing to terminate #bracing. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39659310/

Is there some #magicpill that can get rid of my #pain once and for all? Unfortunately not. Back pain involves different body parts and impacts multiple aspects of a person’s life. Therefore, #treatments need to be specific and differentiated. #ISICO #backpain #lowbackpain #spine

This study showed that the #therapeuticstrategies selecting between #surgical and #nonsurgicaltreatments in patients with #adolescentidiopathicscoliosis produce comparable #HRQoL and #longtermfunctionaloutcomes at a follow-up duration exceeding 10 years. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40533578/

#Backpain has seasonal fluctuations, with the best condition reached in the #summer and the worst during the #winter. Why? The explanation seems to be that the hot season favors #sportsactivity and #socialization, with positive effects on mood. Have a great summer!

This study examined #genderdifferences in #trunkappearanceperception and its relationship with #QoL among patients with moderate #adolescentidiopathiscoliosis undergoing #orthotictreatment, finding that they were similar between #females and #males. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40560896/

Does #scoliosis worsen in #menopause? The #ageing process can cause the #worsening of existing curves and the appearance of new curves, known as “#denovoscoliosis”. This is why it is important to make periodic visits and keep your curve checked. #ISICO en.isico.it/scoliosis-faq/…

As a result of this review, it has emerged that #radiation-free, valid, and reliable #multidimensionalevaluations should be performed in #follow-up and #treatmentefficacyevaluations after initial #diagnosis in #adolescentidiopathicscoliosis. #scoliosis pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40004591/

We offer on our YouTube Channel a video format designed for expert professionals. In this video our #physicaltherapist Martina Poggio talks about #acutelowback pain: how to define, how to #prevent it and how to deal with it when it occurs. #isicopills youtube.com/watch?v=zj-Pkp…

This study of #degenerativespondylolisthesis revealed both an increasing incidence over time and an increasing progression of the #sliprate in up to 1/3 of the patients older than 25. Importantly, two thirds of patients did not experience slip progression. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37271258/

Can #scoliosis get worse despite #bracingtreatment? Yes. The most likely reason is that it is not being worn for enough hours each day: to be effective, a #brace must be worn for several hours commensurate with the risk of #scoliosisworsening. #ISICO en.isico.it/scoliosis-faq/…
