Innovations in adolescent scoliosis treatment
Background Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common spinal deformity in children, occurring in 2-3% of the population. It consists in a 3D deformity of the spine, including vertebral rotation at the apex, a lateral deviation of the spine, and alteration of the sagittal profile. In …

Új előkezelési technika bemutatása scoliosis esetén
Napjainkra egyre nagyobb számban szűrnek ki scoliosis miatt gyermekeket, de sajnos legtöbbször már túl nagy a gerinc deformitása, ami megnehezíti a kóros gerincgörbületek korrigálását. A fiatal korban kialakult gerincdeformitások progresszióját bizonyos esetekben napi rendszeres tornával meg lehet …

Posterior segmental spinal fixation in Scoliosis surgery
… fairy tales dating back as far as 3500BC[1,6]. Scoliosis was first described in the 5th century BC by Hippocrates. He recommended treatment with axial distraction on an extension apparatus (figure 1).

Automated visual measurement of body shape in scoliosis.
… the three-dimensional shape of the human back in scoliosis. Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine becomes distorted and a rib-hump appears on the surface of the back. The research was driven by the needs of the scoliosis clinician and was supported by the Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital, …

Scoliosis Analog Model for the Evaluation of Bracing Technology
… 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 brace …

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. The Role of Low Dose Computed Tomography.
… placement in patients with AIS after posterior scoliosis surgery with titanium implants, using the new grading system for screw misplacement. Our proposed grading system for screw misplacement has shown to be feasible, practical, and easy to perform and is in line with the general agreement …

Coping and quality of life of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis
… 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 study and …

Clothing interest and self-perception of female adolescents with scoliosis
… clothing interest and self-perception among scoliosis patients and their non-handicapped peers. The objectives were (1) to investigate the differences in selected clothing interest factors and self-perception domains between female adolescents with scoliosis and non-handicapped female …

Smart Growing Rod Device for the Treatment of Early Onset Scoliosis
Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS) occurs in children under 10 years of age and many cases have a higher probability of progression during growth. The EOS has been treated with “growing rod” procedure to avoid interference with spinal growth. Patients have to undergo a series of operations to have the rod …

Quantitative pathophysiology in rabbit models of early onset scoliosis and expansion thoracoplasty
Early onset deformity of the spine and chest wall (initiated <8 years of age) is associated with declining respiratory function and increased morbidity at adulthood relative to adolescent onset deformity of comparable severity. In young children it is presumed that inhibition of thoracic growth …

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
… 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 the spine …

Complex thoracic malformations: is there an association between adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and pectus excavatum?
… 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 the …

Design, Validation, and Clinical Testing of a Novel Fastening Device for a Scoliosis Brace
… thousand children in the US were put into a scoliosis brace. The primary function of scoliosis braces was to reduce and prevent progression of the spinal deformity as the patient grew by application of corrective forces to the spine. Straps, often made of Velcro, were attached to the back of …

Qualifying the Variability of Surface Topography Indices for Detection of Clinical Progression of Scoliosis
… between progressed and non-progressed scoliosis. However, the estimation of what constitutes clinically important difference should be examined further.

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 …

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 …

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 …

Hip and Spine in Cerebral Palsy
… cerebral palsy (CP) have an increased risk of scoliosis, contractures including windswept hip deformity (WS), and hip dislocation. In 1994, a follow-up program and registry for children and adolescents with CP (CPUP) was initiated in Sweden to allow the early detection and prevention of hip …
