1 The Potential Use of Axial Spinal Unloading in the Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Case Series  Catherine A. Chromy, DPT, Michael T. Carey, DPT, Kristopher G. Balgaard, DPT, Paul A. Iaizzo, PhD  Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation  Volume 87, Issue 11, Pages (November 2006) DOI: /j.apmr Copyright © 2006 The American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 LTX 3000 Lumbar Rehabilitation System. More descriptive details on this class I medical device can be found in Janke et al10 and Hales et al.13 Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation  , DOI: ( /j.apmr ) Copyright © 2006 The American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Standing AP radiographs and Cobb angles. In the left column are standing AP radiographs of subject 5 both during the initial baseline session and immediately posttreatment. The right column shows the associated Cobb angles of subject 5 while standing during the initial session and again immediately after the 3-month treatment period. Note that the Cobb angles decreased from 26.3° (initial session) to 18.9° (immediate posttreatment).

4 Fig 3 Sitting AP radiographs and Cobb angles. Shown in the left column are AP radiographs of subject 5 while seated in the LTX 3000 during both the initial baseline session and immediately posttreatment. In the right column are the associated Cobb angles of subject 5 while seated in the device during the initial session and again immediately after the 3-month treatment period. This subject’s Cobb angles decreased from 11.3° (initial session) to 8.1° (immediate posttreatment).

5 Fig 4 Complete standing AP radiographs for the 5 subjects. The left column includes initial standing radiographs of all 5 subjects before treatment with the LTX 3000 (initial baseline). The middle column represents standing radiographs taken of the subjects immediately posttreatment, and the right column shows standing radiographs of subjects 1 month posttreatment. The relative Cobb angles are indicated in the upper left corner of each radiograph.
