SRS 2018 in Bologna: ISICO will be there, too!

ISICO will be present at the International Congress of the SRS (Society of Research on Scoliosis), to be held in Bologna from 10 to 13 October.

SRS, founded in 1966, is the oldest scientific society for the treatment of scoliosis. ‘We will present the study, Brace -Wearing Time is the Strongest Predictor of Final Results: A Regression Model in 1457 High Risk Consecutive Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis – Dr. Sabrina Donzelli says – We evaluated a large number of patients treated with braces and we verified that the number of hours of brace-wearing was the primary predictive factor of the result. We thus demonstrated that the high dosage of wearing protects more and should be raised proportionally to the severity of the curves’.
Furthermore, Prof. Stefano Negrini, ISICO’s scientific director, will talk about brace therapy and patient compliance in a special session, Current trends in bracing for AIS, while we also will have the opportunity to present the preliminary results of the first phase of research (two years) on the Scoliosis Natural History funded by the SRS itself, aimed at identifying a predictive model about the evolution of scoliotic curves in untreated patients.
