Effective treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with the PosturalSpine
Article in European journal of translational myology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity that, if untreated, can impair posture, biomechanics, and quality of life. This case report aims to present the clinical outcomes of an innovative conservative treatment approach that combines the PosturalSpine® D'Amanti Method with the Chêneau brace, in an 8-year-old patient with thoracolumbar rotoscoliosis. This integrative method may represent a novel alternative to conventional bracing or physiotherapy-only protocols. An 8-year-old girl diagnosed with a 32° thoracolumbar rotoscoliosis likely of hereditary origin underwent a 36-month treatment program at Studio Kinesis in Ragusa. The intervention combined a Chêneau brace with the PosturalSpine® D'Amanti Method, which includes proprioceptive and biomechanical exercises. The protocol involved eight 30-minute sessions per month, focusing on spinal alignment, posture, breathing, and body awareness. Radiographic evaluations were conducted at baseline and 10th, 24th, and 35th months. The Cobb angle improved from 32° to 12°, with the most notable reduction occurring within the first 12 months. A slight increase was observed, which may correspond with a 12.5 cm growth spurt, suggesting the influence of rapid growth on treatment outcomes. The integration of PosturalSpine® D'Amanti Method with the Chêneau brace showed encouraging results in reducing spinal curvature and enhancing postural alignment with a noticeable reduction of rib hump in a pediatric patient. This case highlights the potential of combining kinesiotherapy and bracing in scoliosis management. However, broader studies are necessary to validate these findings and optimize protocols for long-term care, particularly during growth phases.
