I^anges idea is to accomplishactive and passive correction or overcorrection with thesimplest kind of apparatus. This is fairly simple in singlecurves. For instance a loose left lumbar curve may beovercorrected by a simple pulley apparatus as shown inFigs. 81 and 82. Fig. 83 shows a case in which the left. Fig. 84.—Correction of forward stoop of left shoulder in left total scoliosis. (Lange.) lumbar scoliosis is well overcorrected by a strap, while apad pressing over the right side of the thorax corrects theright dorsal curve. The apparatus in the illustration showsa passive correction, but it may be used for active exerciseas well. In these examples the corrective pressure has beenapplied in a lateral direction only while other apparatstrive to obtain correction of the torsion. EXERCISE TREATMENT OF LATERAL CURVATURE 303 In Fig. 84 a strap is fastened around the left shoulder of acase with left total scoliosis. The patient is to lift a weightby drawing the shoulder backward. The tendency of thisexercise is the same as that described on page 288, raisingthe arm and shoulder backward while lying prone.
