Physical exercises, whether in a sporting or rehabilitative context, are motor actions repeated to improve a function or skill. This function may be as simple as muscle strength or joint mobility or as complex as balance or coordination. SEAS, our approach to scoliosis-specific exercises, was conceived with a different perspective compared to most other specific […]

Abstract Introduction: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common diagnosis managed by pediatric orthopedic surgeons with nonoperative radiographic monitoring representing a cornerstone of treatment. Differences in practices and techniques for obtaining radiographic studies contribute to variation, […]
We took advantage of the presence of the Brazilian physiotherapist Isis Navarro in Italy, currently working at some ISICO facilities, to get to know her better and have her tell us about her professional experience in collaboration with ISICO. Would you like to tell us something about yourself on a professional level?I am a physiotherapist […]

L’Intelligenza Artificiale (IA) sta trasformando il modo in cui i medici affrontano la riabilitazione, offrendo strumenti innovativi che migliorano la qualità dei trattamenti. In ISICO siamo sempre più impegnati a esplorare come l’IA possa supportare il lavoro clinico quotidiano e contribuire a decisioni terapeutiche sempre più personalizzate. Ne abbiamo parlato con il dr. Francesco Negrini, […]
The spine supports the torso and allows the head to stay upright, keeping the gaze towards the horizon. Proper alignment in the sagittal plane helps maintain the torso in the correct position with minimal energy expenditure and optimal load distribution along the spine. Over time, particularly in older adults, a forward imbalance tends to develop, […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how medical professionals approach rehabilitation, offering innovative tools that enhance the quality of treatment. At ISICO, we are increasingly committed to exploring how AI can support daily clinical work and contribute to highly personalised therapeutic decisions. We discussed this with Francesco Negrini, a specialist physiatrist at ISICO and the author […]
The International Society for Conservative Scoliosis Treatment (SOSORT) recommends exercises based on self-correction, which involves movement aimed at counteracting spinal curves, stabilising this position, and integrating it into daily life【1. At ISICO, we have developed and use the SEAS approach. These exercises involve actively achieving the self-corrected position and working to maintain it despite various […]
