Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) often develop scoliosis that progresses rapidly after loss of ambulation. Management of scoliosis is crucial because it affects both life expectancy and quality of life of patients with DMD. Spinal orthosis attempts to prevent or delay scoliosis using spinal support at three points of the controlling mechanism; the curve should be flattened by the pressure.

The History of the Development of Muscle Energy Concepts The development and refinement of what is now known as Muscle Energy Technique has been a process in evolution over the past fifty years. Muscle Energy Technique (MET), which originated with Fred L. Mitchell, Sr., continues to develop and evolve, first in the hands and minds of those who were privileged to study and learn the method directly from Fred Sr. (the 'second generation'), and now, as the third and fourth generation of students of the method apply it in their practices.
