Scientific Research

Just this week an interesting research has been published following a study on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), a study that used, throughout the analysis phase, the non-invasive Spine 3d detection instrumentation together with the FreeMed baropodometric platform and the FreeStep software, produced by Sensor Medica. The aim of the research was to demonstrate how self-correction …
