Rothbart Proprioceptive Insoles attenuate Scoliotic curves

This is a recent scoliotic case of a young male born with a PreClinical Clubfoot deformity. His baseline cobb angles (before using RPI, both lumbar and thoracic) were 14 degrees. One year post using his RPIs, the cobbs angles dramatically reduced (see attached Pre and Post Xrays)

This is an example of the clinical effectiveness, using Rothbart Proprioceptive Insoles in patients with abnormal lumbar and thoracic curves that develop due to the PreClinical Clubfoot Deformity.

 

Before are Frontal photos of the above patient, pre Rothbart Proprioceptive Insoles vs Post Rothbart Proprioceptive Insoles. Note:

• Dramatic improvement (alignment) of Areolas (chest nipples) using Rothbart Proprioceptive Insoles
• Dramatic improvement in alignment of Pelvic rim (belt line)

I would be particularly interested in hearing from any of the members of the group of 8 discussing the improvements using a simple proprioceptive insole.

 

I just reached out to Simon Spooner, my esteemed colleague, via the Researchgate message service, to join in on this discussion. I would be interested in hearing his opinions regarding the link between foot function and scoliotic curves.

I looked very briefly at the second of these (My paper linking AIS to gDP) . Six refeerences in total - all to yourself.



When I published the link between gDP (gravity drive pronation) resulting from Rothbarts foot and AIS in 2012, I was pioneering this connection. The only citations were mine. Now If I wrote that paper I could include many citations (see below).

Usain Bolt has scoliosis

 

Apparently, it does not affect his running.
