Implants for treatment of obesity may be placed within the stomach and/or esophagus or around the outside surface of the stomach and/or esophagus. The implants comprise at least a portion constructed of a shape memory material. The implants are thus adapted to be implanted in a deformed shape, and then to be transformed through the application of activation energy into a memorized shape. The shape and/or size transformation induces a change in shape of the stomach and/or esophagus, thus altering the normal digestive path of food entering the patient's gastrointestinal tract.

A method of treating scoliosis in a subject includes securing a scoliosis treatment device to first and second locations on the subject's skeletal system, the scoliosis treatment device including a first portion, a second portion moveably mounted relative to the first portion, and an adjustment device disposed on the device and configured to change a distraction force between the first location and the second location, the adjustment device including a rotationally mounted magnetic element configured to move the second portion relative to the first portion in response to rotation of the magnetic element. An external adjustment device is provided external to the subject and is able to adjust the distraction force between the first location and second location.

Gastric restriction device implants and their use in controlling body weight are described. In some embodiments, activation of a shape memory material drives an actuator coupled to an implant, resulting in a conformational change in the implant. In some embodiments latch and ratchet mechanisms operate incrementally to increase or decrease a size of a stomal opening produced by the gastric restriction device. Methods are described by which adjusting the size of the stomal opening is used to restrict the rate at which food passes through the stomach.
