In order to implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's policy on strengthening the country's science popularization capabilities and deepening the implementation of the National Science Literacy Campaign, on July 1, Zhu Qian, member of the Science Popularization Working Committee of the Chinese Rehabilitation Medicine Association and director of Xuzhou Taishan Community Health Service Center, organized a science popularization activity with the theme of "Physical Health of Children and Adolescents". In collaboration with Han Meng, an orthopedic expert from Xuzhou Central Hospital, Jiang Xiaowei, a foot and spine expert from the Rehabilitation Hospital, Cao Jiangang, and experts from the Rehabilitation Engineering Department of Xuzhou Central Hospital, free foot and spine health clinics were conducted for children and adolescents.

At the event, medical staff conducted one-on-one professional scoliosis testing and evaluation on children through visual examination, palpation, instrument measurement, etc., and carried out professional analysis and consultation, personalized rehabilitation guidance and correction suggestions based on the test results. During the screening process, medical staff also popularized spinal health knowledge, self-examination methods and daily precautions to the parents of children/teens. Children with abnormal initial screening were registered, and relevant information was promptly fed back to parents to remind them to intervene early. A total of 70 people were screened in this charity event.

Through this volunteer activity, more young people and parents can understand the harm of scoliosis to the physical and mental health of young people, and guide the public to pay attention to spinal health, properly care for the spine, establish correct prevention and treatment concepts, achieve early detection, early intervention, and early treatment, and help young people grow up healthily! This series of rehabilitation technology volunteer service activities ended successfully and the results achieved the expected goals!
