This dissertation by Marlene Dufvenberg examines adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), focusing on the stability, prognostic factors, and impact of conservative treatments on radiologic, clinical, and self-reported outcomes. AIS is a spinal deformity that emerges during puberty with no known cause. The study evaluates the effectiveness of alternative conservative treatments for patients who decline full-time bracing, such as physical activity, scoliosis-specific exercises, and the use of the Boston scoliosis night brace. The research includes a systematic literature review and a randomized controlled trial to assess treatment outcomes, adherence, and motivation. A prognostic model is developed to predict the risk of curvature progression, considering factors like skeletal immaturity and spinal appearance. The findings emphasize the importance of postural stability and suggest that including self-reported spinal appearance in prognostic models may aid in identifying high-risk patients.

Covering the spectrum of spinal deformity that occurs between birth and 10 years, early onset scoliosis (EOS) is an evolving specialty that faces unique challenges, especially in controlling the progression of the condition while allowing the growth of the developing spine, lungs and thorax. This important book was inspired by the inaugural early onset scoliosis meeting of spine surgeons and other medical professionals in Christ Church, Oxford, UK, in September 2011. It provides a complete picture of the field today, with topics ranging from spinal development and genetics to advances in medi
