Arkansas Administrative Code › Agency 007 - ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › Division 13 - Division of Maternal and Child Health › Rule 007.13.07-001 - Rules and Regulations for Scoliosis Screening

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 6, June, 2024
I. PURPOSE
Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine. Eighty-five
				percent of all cases have an unknown cause and are referred to as "idiopathic
				scoliosis". This condition can be detected in children during the growth spurt
				period between the ages of 10 and 15 years. Girls are affected more often than
				boys. About 2 in 100 people will have a mild form of scoliosis. Scoliosis can
				be relatively easily detected by performing a 30 second scoliosis screen. If
				scoliosis is detected early, then treatment can be started before it becomes a
				physical or emotional disability. These Rules and Regulations provide a method
				to assure that all school age children shall be screened for scoliosis, and to
				assure that all children who fail the screening are referred for appropriate
				medical follow-up.
II.
			 AUTHORITY
Act 41 of 1987 as amended by Act 95 of 1989, "An act to protect
				the health and welfare of Arkansas children by requiring the Department of
				Health to institute scoliosis screening programs; and for other
				purposes."
III. DEFINITIONS
A. Certified Instructors: Individuals who
			 train the screeners. These shall be licensed health practitioners who have
			 successfully completed the Arkansas Department of Health Instructor Training
			 Course in Scoliosis Screening.
B.
			 Screeners: Individuals who perform the actual scoliosis screening. These shall
			 be licensed physicians, individuals who have been trained to perform scoliosis
			 screening by a Certified Scoliosis Screening Instructor, or individuals who can
			 document completion of a Scoliosis Screening Workshop within the past five
			 years and demonstrate competence to a Certified Scoliosis Screening
			 Instructor.
C. Scoliosis: A lateral
			 curvature of the spine, resembling an S-curve or C-curve.
D. Scoliometer: An instrument that measures
			 the degree of rotation of a deformity of the back found on a routine scoliosis
			 screening.
E. Scoliosis Screening
			 Procedure: The procedure used to examine a child for scoliosis. It consists of
			 evaluating the child in six positions. The forward bend technique is included
			 in three of these positions.
F.
			 Forward Bend Technique: A technique used to determine the presence or absence
			 of an abnormality of the spine. It involves observing the person being screened
			 from the rear, front, and side while the person is bending forward.
