Passive Stiffness Characteristics of the Scoliotic Lumbar Torso in Trunk Flexion, Extension, Lateral bending, and Axial Rotation
… in vivo testing of the mechanical response of a scoliotic spine has not yet been reported. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively define the passive stiffness properties of the in vivo scoliotic spine in three principle anatomical motions and identify differences relative to healthy …

Block Pattern adaptation for Greek female adolescents with Scoliosis of the Spine: An investigation into the feasibility of incorporating body shape asymmetry into Sizing Systems to improve garment fit
… curvature, providing a 3D classification of scoliotic deformities. Both right and left body halves of 75 females aged 16-22 years of age, diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), are measured in order to register their different body shapes and to classify them in different …

TECHNOLOGY COMMERCIALIZATION AND FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING SPINAL IMPLANTS FOR THE TREATMENT OF EARLY-ONSET PEDIATRIC SCOLIOSIS
… utilize lengthening rods to fix the deformed scoliotic curvature. The implant surgery is followed by adjustment surgery, performed every six months or one year to adjust the lengthening rods and control early-onset scoliosis progression. Apto Orthopaedics, a company based in Akron, Ohio …

Qualifying the Variability of Surface Topography Indices for Detection of Clinical Progression of Scoliosis
Surface topography (ST) measurements of scoliotic deformities offer the potential to reduce radiation and to provide a more complete description of the deformity when compared to standard X-rays. These ST measurements must be evaluated within a clinical context to determine their feasibility for …

Η μελέτη της προεγχειρητικής ελαστικότητας και μετεγχειρητικής διορθώσεως του σκολιωτικού κυρτώματος
… for the prediction of the correctability of the scoliotic curve using Harrington distraction rods.

Adolescent adherence to orthopedic brace wear: A behavioral assessment of high risk factors
… when treating adolescent patients with moderate scoliotic curves is that the adolescents may not wear the brace as prescribed or long enough for the brace to be effective. The present investigation used electronic monitoring and temperature probes to investigate whether the adolescents were …

Investigating the Biological Mechanisms Underlying Axis Morphogenesis Using a Novel Zebrafish Model of Idiopathic-like Scoliosis
… and CTD phenotypes. I showed that both CTD and scoliotic zebrafish mutants have abnormal accumulations of Sspo in the CNS and defects in Reissner’s fiber (RF), a proteinaceous aggregation of Sspo that runs down the central canal of the spine, suggesting Sspo is required for proper spine …

Scoliosis Analog Model for the Evaluation of Bracing Technology
… an analog model of a mid-thoracic single curve scoliotic deformity for quantifying structural properties of the brace and the force response of the brace on the spine. This model was used to investigate the effects of strap-related brace design alterations. Additionally, the model was customized …

A Proof of Concept for a Machine Learning Algorithm to Screen for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Using Images Captured with Modern Smartphone Technology
… that can predict the main curvature of the scoliotic spine and 2) to determine if the depth information from the smartphone contains additional features or information that can improve the performance of the ML algorithm when compared to regular red-green-blue (RGB) images. Thirty-three …

Investigating the ability to use the CT scan projection radiograph to monitor adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
… of Cobb angle measurements on SPR images, a scoliotic phantom was constructed and validated. Poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) and plaster of Paris (PoP) were used to represent human soft tissue and bone tissue, respectively, to construct a phantom exhibiting a 15° lateral curve of the spine. …
