Coping and quality of life of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis
… stress of bracing or spinal fusion surgery for idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and how coping might impact quality of life (QOL) for this population is unknown. The primary aim of this study was thus to examine these relationships.</p> <p>Forty-eight adolescents participated in this cross-sectional …

On the Geometric Characterization of the Lenke Classification Scheme for Idiopathic Scoliosis
… and diagnosing spinal deformities caused by scoliosis are both surgically intensive and rarely allow for complete correction. This is mainly due to the fact that the diagnostic techniques used are rough estimates made by angles defined by observations of 2-D radiographs. By utilizing the …

Dynamic surface topography and its application to the evaluation of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
… to the potential evaluation of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients. Scoliosis or curvature of the spine is one of the major skeletal diseases in adolescents where in the majority of cases the cause is unknown or idiopathic. The progression of the disease occurs in three dimensions with …

Complex thoracic malformations: is there an association between adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and pectus excavatum?
… review of 220 patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).Objectives: When combined thoracic malformations occur scoliosis and pectus excavatum (PE) may limit the space available in the mediastinum resulting in cardiopulmonary compromise. The purpose of this study was to evaluate …

Investigating the ability to use the CT scan projection radiograph to monitor adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Introduction: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a spinal deformity that causes the spine to bend laterally. Patients with AIS undergo frequent X-ray examinations to monitor the progression of the deformity through the measurement of the Cobb angle, increasing the risk of developing …

Radiographic and clinical outcomes in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis corrective fusion surgery: a one year follow up
Introduction Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a complex three-dimensional deformity of the spine, characterized by a Cobb angle of at least 10 degrees. The goal of surgery is not only to prevent progression, but restoration of sagittal and coronal balance, protection of cardiopulmonary …

Spinal mobility, muscle strength and function in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Different aspects on long term outcome
… function outcome in patients treated for idiopathic scoliosis (IS) during childhood and adolescence has not been fully explored. In addition, there is a lack of studies where different methods to measure pulmonary function are validated in patients with early onset scoliosis. The aims of …

The Use of Motion Analysis Technology as an Alternative Means of Assessing Spinal Deformity in Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
<p>Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a three dimensional deformity of the spine that causes abnormal curvatures in the coronal and sagittal planes and abnormal vertebral rotations. The gold standard for diagnosing and tracking the progression of the deformity is through the use of repeated …

How adolescents who underwent surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis experienced their mental health and body image, an interpretative phenomenological analysis
Background Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a curvature in the spine with no known cause (Scoliosis Support and Research [SSR], 2024), diagnosed aged 10-19, with the worst cases commonly treated with spinal fusion surgery. The experience of AIS surgery has been explored revealing …

A Proof of Concept for a Machine Learning Algorithm to Screen for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Using Images Captured with Modern Smartphone Technology
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is an extremely common three-dimensional (3-D) deformity of the spine, affecting the population between 10 and 18 years of age. Early detection of AIS is critical, as the earlier that the spinal deformity can be identified, the more likely it is that curve …

Η μελέτη της προεγχειρητικής ελαστικότητας και μετεγχειρητικής διορθώσεως του σκολιωτικού κυρτώματος
Forty six patients with idiopathic scoliosis were operated using Harrington distraction rods and posterior spinal fusion, during the last ten years, at the Orthopaedic Department of the University of Ioannina, Medical School. Curve elasticity was preoperatively measured so that the postoperative …

The development of a dyadic assessment for families experiencing
<p>Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a chronic disease involving curvature of the spine that is typically diagnosed in late childhood and early adolescence. The timing of most AIS diagnoses and subsequent treatment occur at a critical point developmentally and may place strain on the …

A Novel Role for HAPLN1 in Skeletal Development
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a potentially progressive spinal curvature that occurs during rapid growth and has a multi-factorial genetic etiology. Prior genetic studies in humans and animal models support differences in cartilage development in the pathogenesis of AIS. Here, we …

Surgeon directed transcranial motor evoked potential spinal cord monitoring in spinal deformity surgery: A review of viability, safety and efficacy
… The alert group diagnoses included adolescent idiopathic scoliosis 9 (45%) and congenital scoliosis 6 (30%). The incidence of deterioration based on diagnosis AIS was 9/153 (6%), congenital 6/30 (20%) and TB spine 2/16 (12.5%). Deterioration in congenital is much more common (p=0.02) when …

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
Scoliosis of the spine is defined as a side-to-side deviation from the normal frontal axis of the body resulting in body asymmetry, and as a complex, three-dimensional and multifaceted deformity, not only affects a female adolescent’s appearance - fit, usability and appearance of clothing - but can …

Investigating the Biological Mechanisms Underlying Axis Morphogenesis Using a Novel Zebrafish Model of Idiopathic-like Scoliosis
Scoliosis is characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature and three-dimensional rotation of the spine and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), which has no known cause, affects about 4% of children worldwide. As a result of the complex genetic landscape of AIS as well as the historical lack of …

Scoliosis Analog Model for the Evaluation of Bracing Technology
… braces are commonly used to treat Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Braces serve to reduce and prevent progression of the spinal curve by applying corrective forces. The magnitude and direction of these corrective forces applied by the brace to the spine remain unknown. Additionally the …
