TL;DR: Conservative treatment with Chêneau orthosis and physiotherapy was effective in halting scoliosis progression in 48.1% of patients, suggesting that bracing is effective in reducing the incidence of surgery in comparison with natural history.

TL;DR: Evaluating the usefulness of selected anthropometric indices of obesity to determine optimal cut-off points for the identification of single metabolic disorders that are components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) found that the BMI and the WC had the highest discriminatory power.

TL;DR: Low back pain was reduced in about 90% of patients in the experimental group, while static balance of the pelvis, tone of the muscles and ligaments and spinal mobility improved in approximately 80% of these patients, confirming a high holistic physiotherapy including elements of osteopathy.

TL;DR: FMS patients may also require help from the Psychiatric Clinic (Out-Patients Clinic) due to accompanying mental problems, and the pharmacological treatment options are limited and only complex therapy gives relatively good results.

TL;DR: The finding of significant discrepancies between the results of assessment in the sagittal plane obtained in the clinical examination and Zebris CMS-10-based assessment suggests that clinical evaluation should be used to provide a general estimation of accentuation or reduction of spinal curvatures in the Sagittal plane.
