A behavioral treatment of scoliosis and kyphosis was tested with 27 adolescent patients (19 scoliosis, eight kyphosis patients) to determine in which cases the conspicuous and restraining brace treatment could be replaced. In 22 compliant patients, posture biofeedback (PB) was highly effective compared to five non-compliant patients. Biologically more mature scoliosis patients (menarche at the beginning of treatment) seemed to profit more from PB. With kyphosis patients the PB treatment resulted in rapid straightening of the spine and removal of structural deformities of Scheuermann's disease. PB may serve as an unobtrusive yet effective treatment alternative for both juvenile scoliosis and kyphosis.
对27名青少年患者（19名脊柱侧弯患者、8名脊柱后凸患者）进行了一项脊柱侧弯和脊柱后凸行为治疗测试，以确定在哪些情况下可以替代明显且受限的支具治疗。在22名依从性好的患者中，与5名不依从的患者相比，姿势生物反馈（PB）非常有效。生物学上更成熟的脊柱侧弯患者（治疗开始时已月经初潮）似乎从PB中获益更多。对于脊柱后凸患者，PB治疗可使脊柱迅速变直，并消除休曼病的结构畸形。PB可作为青少年脊柱侧弯和脊柱后凸一种不显眼但有效的治疗选择。
