LYON METHOD CERTIFICATION COURSE TITLE
The Lyon Method for orthopaedic non-surgical treatment of scoliosis and other vertebral deviations.
This course get back to basics of the classic face-to-face training course conducted over 2 and a half days and which is available to you on SSOL. It benefits from all the advantages of digital technology.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Intended for all those who want to acquire specialized knowledge in the field of vertebral deviation treatment and understand the physiopathological and biomechanical basis of these treatments. Vertebral deviations include: scoliosis, sagittal deviations such as kyphosis due to Scheuermann's disease or not, and spondylolisthesis. Thoracic deviations such as the pectus often associated.
The students should be able to analyse each pathological situation and develop the most appropriate therapeutic management. It is not a question of imitating exercises, but of acquiring the necessary skills to choose the most suitable exercise or construct the better brace.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
1. Real integration into a Scoliosis treatment team, i.e. for a PT to be able to carry out the corrective postures allowing a CPO to carry out a brace moulding in a corrected position.
2. Understanding the anatomical, neurophysiological and biomechanical basis of all vertebral deviations, in particular the extra-pyramidal system and 3D correction by coupled movements which are the foundations of the Lyon Method.
3. Acquisition of the necessary basis of radiological interpretation to restore the isostatic balance of the spine in the sagittal plane specific to each patient.
4. Knowledge of the main orthopaedic pathologies associated with vertebral and thoracic deviations.
5. Select the most appropriate exercises and braces using simple tables and decision trees.
6. Be able to answer the patient's usual questions about his or her condition.
7. Information of new technologies to optimize non-surgical treatment
8. Anticipate the evolution thanks to the scientific evidence of the last results of the non surgical treatment.
COURSE MATERIALS AND REQUIREMENTS
We recommend the use of a wide screen placed 10° below the horizontal line of vision. For the X-ray corner, it is useful to have an A4 printer with photo paper and transparent film.
Access codes will be provided at the time of registration. Registration for webinars is optional, but highly recommended.
The course material may be freely used locally and partially reproduced.
COURSE POLICIES
This course is asynchronous, you manage your time according to your possibilities. It is divided into 4 sections. Each section has 4 sessions for a total of 16 sessions. In each session several modules with readings, videos, X-ray corner, decision tables and trees, 4th dimension of scoliosis ...Each session requires a minimum of 2 hours of work. The ideal pace is 1 to 2 hours per day 5 days a week. The use of the forum is highly recommended.
ATTENDANCE
A final exam will be held every 3 months. Participation is conditional to the sending of the self-filled logbook. Even if we have the possibility to do so, connection times are in principle not controlled. The sequence of modules is adapted to a logic of progression and understanding.
ACADEMIC HONESTY
This course is not academic, but the principles are the same.
TECHNOLOGY
There are no technical limits, the most important thing is to work in a quiet environment.
ACCESSIBILITY AND INCLUSION
This course is open to all professionals, as long as they have computer equipment to compensate for any sensory deficit.

INSTRUCTOR INFORMATION
The course was designed by Jean Claude de Mauroy MD and is the result of more than 40 years of experience in the field of non-surgical orthopaedic treatment of spinal column deviations. Jean Claude de Mauroy is a Medical doctor, certified specialist in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, Biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system, Electromyography, Osteopathy and Manual Medicine, Sports Medicine. He is lecturer at the University Lyon 1 and President of the European Spine Centre. He worked from 1972 to 1987 at the Centre des Massues – Lyon (Paediatric Unit), then from 1987 to 2019 at the Clinique du Parc – Lyon (Orthopaedic Medicine). He is co-inventor of the new Lyon ARTbrace.
Orthopaedic Medicine, once a true medical specialty, is currently little taught, while technology has developed and requires special skills.
The Lyon Method is the oldest. Based on the combination of exercises and bracing, it is founded on simple physiological and biomechanical concepts that are much more accessible than other methods.
