New Evaluation Tool for Patients with Scoliosis
OAA is proud to offer SCOLISCORE, a brand-new evaluation tool to monitor the possible progression of scoliosis, and predict which cases are most likely to progress to a severe curve.
This means less doctors visits and x-rays for low-risk children, or children whose curve is unlikely to become severe. SCOLISCORE is 99% accurate in predicting low-risk cases, which comprise 75% of all cases diagnosed.
Until now, there has been no reliable indicator for curve progression.
