Scoliosis Screening Form for School-Age Children

Early detection of scoliosis can make all the difference in treatment outcomes for children. This scoliosis screening form template is designed for school nurses, pediatric healthcare providers, and screening coordinators who conduct routine spinal examinations for school-age children.

With Paperform, you can digitize your scoliosis screening workflow and create a branded, professional assessment form that captures detailed examination findings, documents the Adam's forward bend test results, and automatically flags cases that meet referral criteria. The form includes sections for student demographics, medical history, visual inspection findings, rib hump measurements, and orthopedic consultation recommendations.

Why healthcare providers choose Paperform for screening assessments

School health programs, pediatric clinics, and orthopedic practices use this template to standardize their screening protocols and ensure consistent documentation across multiple examiners. The conditional logic built into the form means you can show or hide relevant follow-up questions based on initial findings, while calculation fields can help determine if a student meets threshold criteria for specialist referral.

With Papersign integration (papersign.com), you can seamlessly collect parental consent for screenings or orthopedic referrals, keeping all documentation linked to the original assessment. For larger screening programs, Stepper (stepper.io) can automate your post-screening workflow—automatically sending referral letters to families, updating student health records, and scheduling follow-up appointments when intervention is recommended.

Whether you're conducting annual school-based screenings or intake assessments at a pediatric clinic, this template helps you maintain thorough records, improve early detection rates, and ensure timely referrals for students who need specialist evaluation—all while keeping your forms secure, compliant, and easy to complete on any device.
