    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Physical Therapy
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Scoliosis is a complex spinal deformity affecting children.
    • Current treatments for scoliosis have limitations.
    • Exploring novel therapeutic modalities is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of interference currents in treating pediatric scoliosis.
    • To assess the impact of interference currents on key physiological parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Children diagnosed with scoliosis received treatment using interference currents.
    • The study monitored orthopedic status, muscular function, respiratory function, and autonomic tone.

    Main Results:

    • Interference currents demonstrated a positive effect on the orthopedic status of children with scoliosis.
