The assessment tool is a chart that provides guidance for at-home testing for scoliosis and can be used for year-round monitoring of spine health. Howard An, MD, and Christopher DeWald, MD, pediatric spine specialists at MOR, are also using the tool in their practice.

 

The complimentary chart can be ordered all year round on the MOR website under “pediatric scoliosis.”
