Effects of lateral electrical surface stimulation on scoliosis in children with severe cerebral palsy: a pilot study.

LESS is effective in scoliosis in children with severe CP and it may improve trunk balance. Implications for rehabilitation Scoliosis is a very complicated problem for the children with severe CP. They do not have many options for treatments and scoliosis is usually refractory. Lateral electrical surface stimulation (LESS) is effective in scoliosis in children with severe CP and it may improve trunk balance. LESS may be another option of managing stationary or progressive scoliosis in the children with severe CP who are unable to undergo surgery.
