Monitoring the results of scoliosis improvement using the DIERS system
Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2016, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of the study was to present a_modern method of imaging the posture of the human body, namely, the DIERS Formetric 4D system. This method is used, among others, for non-invasive evaluation of the effects of treatment of patients diagnosed with scoliosis. Using the DIERS Formetric 4D device, the test of body posture can be done almost any time without the use of a_temporary regime between studies. This allows assessment of both the effects of the treatment carried out in the short term, as well as the assumptions of the plan for further treatment. According to the authors, the use of the DIERS Formetric 4D method to control the effects of scoliosis treatment is extremely important because of the possibility of frequent performance this test, its short duration and repeatability of the achieved results. They are available very quickly and there is a_possibility to compare them with the results of previous tests, thereby greatly facilitating the work of physiotherapists.
