Scoliosis Screening: An Approach Used in the School.
Miller, Dean; Lever, Carol Sue
Journal of School Health, v52 n2 p98-101 Feb 1982
A screening program for the detection of scoliosis was initiated in four Toledo, Ohio area schools. The primary objective of the program was to provide early diagnosis so that bracing might help to avoid surgical treatment later. Recommendations include: (1) yearly examinations; (2) examination of the siblings of afflicted students; and (3) movies on scoliosis to be shown to students. (JN)
