    Introduction: Gaps in knowledge in biomechanics on how the human spine develops itself to the adult posture still exist. It is clear that the huge increase in spinal problems do lack a sound etiologic base, on which effective preventive, conservative and surgical measurements should be based. An innovative technique to correct scoliosis and kyphosis in a non-surgical way is found in the TLI (thoracolumbar lordotic intervention) brace that is based on reversing of the external etiologic factors. Method: A search in older or neglected orthopedic and biomechanical literature around spinal deformities was done to support the clearance of `Idiopathy` in spinal deformities. Own research is described on the effectiveness of treatment by braces Results: Older literature on postural development was gathered. Environmental factors like sitting were once investigated as causes for deformities an.. Read More»
