title: [Answer to the study by von Hopf et al: recommendations to patients with idiopathic scoliosis concerning sports activities].
abstract: A danger for patients with idiopathic scoliosis results not only from push but also from bendstress. For this reason patients treated with a brace should wear it in sports except swimming. Sports with permanent unilateral torsion are to be avoided. Sports with an extremely lordotic or kyphotic effect may be positive in patients with severe kyphosis or lordosis. The patients should take part in school sport activities.
