The Application of MEDI-REHATEK Spinal Orthosis II 2, Diagnosis There are three ways to determine whether there is scoliosis: 1)It can be visually observed through the signs of scoliosis signs: bilateral shoulder with unequal length; the development of breasts of women is asymmetry, left breast is larger; one side of back has the ridge; waist has pleats on one side; one side of the hip is higher than the other side; bilateral lower limb with unequal length and so on. 2)Adam's push-up test is a good way to detect whether there is scoliosis (Figure 1). That allows patients to maintain the angle of thoracolumbar anteflexion in about 90 degrees,and observe whether the back is parallel and symmetry. 3) If the bilateral shoulder is asymmetry with unequal length,we can initially diagnose it as scoliosis.In order to more accurately determine whether the patient has scoliosis, we recommend that patients go to the hospital to shoot X-rays to confirm the diagnosis. The requirements of radiograph is to shoot the entire length of the spine of patient in standing position includes both sides of the iliac crest in order to reflect the real situation of deformity and balance of torso.
