Rehabilitation of adolescent patients with scoliosis—what do we know?

Off Topic eh-hem, "debates"

I could be wrong (it has happened before), but I saw Linda's posting in a different light. Recently there were several deleted posts in a thread intended as place for a parent to post her experience, in a supportive atmosphere. Many comments were deleted, and rightly so, because they were off topic and explosive in nature - or, things which would not provide said patient with a supportive environment.

So I think Linda saw that this had the propensity to happen in this thread and she was trying to circumvent it. A proactive approach.

Bty, I suggested that we write to Lori Dolan (in the other thread) and query the clinical use of the term "in-brace study." I did write her and this was her reply:

I’m not aware of any studies where all the x-rays are taken with the brace on – usually in-brace x-rays are taken within a few weeks after the brace is delivered to check on pad placement, trimlines, decompensation, and the amount of curve correction. Otherwise, x-rays are taken out-of-brace.

Sometimes people will use the term “study” as they would radiograph, xray, film, etc. But usually it means what you’d think it does – i.e. a research study.

Oh you and your infernal going to the sources to get an answer instead of fighting it out tooth and nail with insufficient information

Thanks for asking. Always good to have real info from the sources.

If they are outside science's realm then they are nowhere. I accept that some things are probably not knowable.

But pretending to know things that can't possibly be known or that are in fact NOT known is intellectually dishonest. The Pope or any religious figure or person has no more knowledge of these things than atheists. They just pretend to have this knowledge whereas atheists admit they don't know.

This is not OF TOPIC????

Hey! I represent that remark (haha) ... Thanks & you're welcome :-)

I would say that due to nature of the post, in addition to it's religious nature .. and pretentious intellectual dishonesty, that yes, it was totally off topic. Up to Linda to decide whether or not to delete it - big job taking care of such things in this forum.

Careful Folks

Don't get drawn into a discussion about religion with Pooka1 - it will shut this thread down!

Okay I have removed all my posts on:

1. equestrian issues
2. psych as a non-hard science
3. the Pope as just a mammal like everyone else with no special knowledge

Apologies for making more work for Linda.

You know, sometimes this place reminds me of the cartoon Get Fuzzy (attached)

Well, I did post a bunch of off-topic crap in this thread. In removing the posts pre-emptively, I was just trying avoiding the inevitable spanking.

Kudos mamamax! I vaguely remember you suggesting that...lol! How nice of Lori Dolan to respond to you. That was very kind of her to take the time.

Yes, it is strange to read random postings in response to no one, but not nearly as bizarre as watching 3 pages disappear before my very eyes while I was rubbernecking from afar...
