Sabrina Donzelli and Alessandra Negrini speakers in Barcelona

Isico once again played an active part in the Spanish national course on the rehabilitation of spinal deformities organised by the Rehabilitation Service of the Vall d’Hebron University Hospital in collaboration with the European Spine Surgery Group. Now in its third year, the event was held in Barcelona on 20 and 21 June.

The course combines oral presentations with a number of practical sessions. Dr Sabrina Donzelli, physiatrist at Isico and Alessandra Negrini, physiotherapist, gave several presentations: Dr Donzelli presented the classification of the sagittal profile that is used in children, as well as evidence on conservative and surgical treatment of spinal problems in the sagittal plane. Alessandra Negrini, having given a talk on sagittal alignment, led two workshops on the usefulness of SEAS exercises in adult scoliosis and one focusing on the role of sport in idiopathic scoliosis.
