In the article is summarized the experience of treatment of 15 patients with dysplastic lumbar scoliosis of the II and III degree by the method of electrostimulation of dorsal muscles by means of walking corrector. Stimulation of the given type has been employed as rehabilitation therapy after carrying out of the closed chemonucleolysis for the purpose of muscle jacket restoration. Stimulation of trunk muscles in walking allowed to increase correction and stability of vertebral column distortion. Dynamic observations of patients demonstrated stability of achieved curative effect. Therapy of described type can be employed in complex of conservative treatment of scoliosis.
