The patient had been diagnosed with scoliosis when she was young but had not received any specific treatment aside from anti-inflammatory medications for the pain associated with her condition. The patient had previously participated in pool-based exercises and pilates, however she had discontinued these activities due to pain.<\/p>\n<p>The patient enjoyed gardening but now found this activity challenging because of her spinal symptoms. The patient was involved with the care of her husband who had suffered a stroke approximately 4 years prior to the consultation at the ScoliCare clinic. She mentioned that playing the role of carer for her husband was stressful and involved frequent bending and lifting.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_3 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><strong>Examination Findings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The patient stated that her main concerns were that her scoliosis would progress and that the pain that she was experiencing would intensify. She was also aware of the associated postural deformity which impacted negatively on her self-image. The patient completed the Scoliosis Research Society questionnaire (SRS-22r) which revealed very low scores in the function (1.8) and self-image (1.8) domains. The patient reported that she would experience pain most days which was relieved by anti-inflammatory medication and bed rest.<\/p>\n<p>There was a possible family history of scoliosis with the patient stating that her father had suffered from a curvature in his spine. With reference to medical history, the patient had given birth to three children and was currently receiving treatment for a psoriatic skin condition. The patient had suffered a compression fracture of L4 eight years prior to the consultation.<\/p>\n<p>An apparent leg length inequality of 1.5cm was discovered at this time. X-rays taken four years later demonstrated a retrolisthesis at L4\/L5. The finding of a compression fracture had prompted a bone mineral density (BMD) evaluation which highlighted that the patient was osteoporotic (Lumbar spine BMD= 0.86 gm\/cm<sup>2\u00a0<\/sup>[T score= -2.6], Right femoral neck BMD= 0.702 gm\/cm<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0[T score= -2.5]). The patient had been undergoing infusions which was helping to improve BMD for the past four years since her diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>The physical examination revealed postural abnormalities, specifically right coronal imbalance attributed to pelvic and\/or lower limb discrepancy\/deformity, bilateral bunions, asymmetrical waist curves and an overt curvature in the lumbar spine (Figure 1).<\/p>\n<p>Lumbar range of motion was reduced in all directions. The angle of trunk rotation was 10\u00b0 on the right. Nachlas test produced pain in the sacroiliac joint bilaterally. The FABER test provoked hip pain when performed each side. There was pain to palpation over the entire lumbar spine, particularly from L3-S1. The neurological exam was unremarkable.<\/p>\n<p>Plain films demonstrated a mild-moderate right lumbar scoliosis measuring 25\u00b0 (Cobb) with an apex at L2\/3 intervertebral disc (Figure 2). Extensive degenerative change in the lower lumbar spine was noted. The patient was diagnosed with progressive idiopathic scoliosis into adulthood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_1 et_always_center_on_mobile\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scolicare.com\/seattle-washington\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2025\/03\/Figure-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_4 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><strong>Figure 1:\u00a0<\/strong>Posteroanterior postural photograph (Left), Lateral postural photograph (Right).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_2 et_always_center_on_mobile\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scolicare.com\/seattle-washington\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2025\/03\/Figure-2-4.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_5 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><strong>Figure 2:<\/strong>\u00a0Posteroanterior full-spine x-ray highlighting a 25\u00b0 (Cobb) right lumbar scoliosis (Left),<br \/>\nLateral full-spine x-ray (Right).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_divider_1 et_pb_space et_pb_divider_hidden\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_6 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><strong>Intervention<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The patient was prescribed a rigid thoraco-lumbo-sacral orthosis (TLSO) to be worn on a part-time basis. The patient was also advised to take part in a physiotherapeutic scoliosis specific exercise (PSSE) program.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the patient\u2019s age and the level of degeneration observed in the spine, it was recommended that the patient view the bracing and exercise program as a long-term care strategy. The patient was advised to wear the brace initially for two hours each day then increase the wear by one hour each day up to a level that was tolerable.<\/p>\n<p>The patient was also enrolled in a short program of exercise rehabilitation. The idea of the rehabilitation program was to teach the patient specific exercises to strengthen the muscles around the spine to complement the action of the brace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_2 et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_divider_2 et_pb_space et_pb_divider_hidden\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_7 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><b>Outcomes<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The patient was fitted with the TLSO one month after the initial consultation. Postural photographs taken at the time of the brace fitting revealed notable postural improvements in the sagittal and coronal planes.<\/p>\n<p>Plain films demonstrated that there was no significant change in the magnitude of the curve in-brace, however the patient\u2019s coronal balance was significantly improved with the patient\u2019s posture being more aligned with the central sacral vertical line through C7 and S2 (Figure 3).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_3 et_always_center_on_mobile\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scolicare.com\/seattle-washington\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2025\/03\/Figure-4-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_8 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><strong>Figure 4:\u00a0<\/strong>Posteroanterior in-brace x-ray (Left),<br \/>\nLateral in-brace x-ray (Right)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_9 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p>One month after the brace fitting the patient reported that they had been wearing the brace each day since the fitting. The patient stated that she had experienced some mild constipation in the early stages of brace-wear, but this had passed, and she felt more stable in the brace. She had also noticed that her posture was improved.<\/p>\n<p>The patient was advised to be more active in the brace to build strength and endurance in the muscles that support the spine whilst being held (by the brace) in a more normal postural alignment. This was further reinforced by having the patient perform scoliosis specific exercises at home each day. The focus of these sessions was to teach the patient how to actively place their body in correct spinal alignment through muscular contraction.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these active self-correction exercises, the patient was also given floor exercises to promote activation of the muscles involved with trunk stabilisation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The patient is still under care, however at the most recent follow-up appointment (14 months of treatment) the patient stated that she was wearing the brace for 7 hours each day and completing the exercises regularly throughout the week. The patient reported that the brace was helpful most of the time. The exercises did cause cramping on occasion but seemed to be having a positive effect.<\/p>\n<p>Postural photos taken at the most recent follow-up appointment demonstrate a stabilisation of the patient\u2019s postural changes in the coronal and sagittal planes (Figure 4). The patient\u2019s scores on the SRS-22r have remained relatively stable with clinically significant improvements noted in the \u2018function\u2019 domain. The patient has been advised to continue with the part-time bracing and exercise program to maintain the improvements that have been achieved thus far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_4 et_always_center_on_mobile\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scolicare.com\/seattle-washington\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2025\/03\/Figure-6-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_10 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><strong>Figure 6:\u00a0<\/strong>Posteroanterior postural photograph out-of-brace (Left),<br \/>\nLateral postural photograph out-of-brace (Right)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_11 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><b>Discussion<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Scoliosis that is detected in adolescence can progress into adulthood. This progression is most pronounced in patients entering adulthood with scoliosis measuring &gt;30\u00b0 (Cobb).<\/p>\n<p>It is well known that postural changes associated with scoliosis, specifically coronal and sagittal imbalance, can lead to pain and reduced quality of life in patients as they age. Furthermore, any departure from normal alignment tends to compound the effects of the natural degenerative process that occurs with ageing. Coupled with decreases in skeletal muscle mass (sarcopenia) and bone mineral density (osteoporosis) that occur over time, adults with spinal deformity can suffer immensely as they age.<\/p>\n<p>In adolescent patients, conservative management strategies such as bracing and exercise have demonstrated efficacy in stabilising or even reducing scoliotic curves. Unfortunately, using conservative treatments to mould and shape the spine is far less effective when applied to a skeletally mature patient.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, care of adult patients with scoliosis should be viewed as being more palliative\/preventative than corrective. Bracing in adults, as demonstrated by this case, can be used to move a patient closer to a more ideal spinal alignment. Exercises can be used to maintain muscle mass and strengthen muscles involved with trunk stabilisation.<\/p>\n<p>The results of conservative management in adult scoliosis patients are certainly less spectacular in terms of measurable changes in Cobb angle, however these types of therapies do create clinically meaningful changes to a patient\u2019s pain, function and quality of life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_12 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This case demonstrates the management of an elderly female patient with progressive idiopathic scoliosis into adulthood using a custom 3D designed low profile brace and scoliosis specific exercises. While significant curve reduction is not realistic in this age group, this case demonstrates that meaningful postural correction and improvements in pain, function and quality of life can be achieved with a conservative approach.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>NB:<\/em>\u00a0<em>Results vary from case to case.
