[Electrostimulation in treatment of scoliosis]

The efficiency of electrical stimulation in the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis was assessed on the basis of 95 patients reviewed. In 63% of cases an improvement or inhibition of progression of the curvature was achieved. The infantile and juvenile positive therapeutic effect was found in 70% patients, providing the onset of the therapy took place before the tenth year of life. Adolescent scoliosis were affected by this kind of therapy only to the very little extent.
