Filter by:The purpose of this study is to identify genetic determinants of susceptibility to idiopathic scoliosis . It will assist in predicting individual risks of disease progression and would help to clarify pathophysiologic mechanisms of idiopathic scoliosis
Creation of a pediatric robotic spine surgery registry will allow for data collection and analysis on the coupled use of robotics and navigation in pediatric spine deformity surgery across participating study institutions. Eventually, an educational and informative framework for this technology will be established.
This study was designed to investigate whether the temperament and character traits of young men with idiopathic scoliosis differ from healthy individuals of the same age group and characteristics.
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis affects 3-4% of the Canadian population, of which about 10% will need a brace treatment during pubertal growth spurt. Our team has developed an innovative conception method for brace design by optimizing for the immediate in-brace correction. The model is customized to each patient. In this project, the investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of this platform's customized treatment and validate its clinical application.
This study showed that the addition of hippotherapy to Schroth exercises is more effective in improving postural asymmetry and balance ability in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis compared to Schroth exercises alone. Therefore, this combination should be considered during designing a rehabilitation program for AIS
Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common spinal deformity in children and adolescents with an estimated prevalence of 3%. About one tenth of the children with scoliosis develop a deformity that requires treatment with brace or surgery with the current treatment protocol. When brace treatment for scoliosis is indicated, standard treatment consists of bracing 20 hours or more per day. Outcomes of brace treatment depend to a large extent on wearing time and since many adolescents feel uncomfortable in the brace, it is of importance to combine efficacy and comfortability of the brace.
This study aims to explore the use of proximal femoral head for the assessment of skeletal maturity in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. The aim is to validate the use of the stages of proximal femoral epiphyseal closure in assessing pubertal growth landmarks in this patient cohort. The grading system of this skeletal maturity index will be established and its reliability and reproducibility in clinical use will be examined.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate vestibular function in children with idiopathic scoliosis as a possible cause of etiopathogenesis of its diagnose.
This is the first clinical study to examine the spinal and peripheral proprioceptive deficits in longitudinal terms among subjects with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
The goal of the study is to analyze the influence of bracing on sagittal balance in scoliosis. In special we want to observe if there is a difference between two types of TLSO-brace, namely boston and cheneau. Retrospective analyses of Full Spine X-rays of patients who underwent bracing-therapy in the context of scoliosis. Different spinopelvic parameters will be analyzed: pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt, sacral slope, lumbar lordosis, spinopelvic angle, spinosacral angle, thoracal kyphosis. Four different X-rays will be reviewed for these parameters: 1. Profile before bracing therapy 2. Profile after initiation of bracing therapy 3. Profile immediately after termination of bracing therapy 4. Profile more than 3 months after termination of brace It concerns patients with idiopathic scoliosis (exclusion of congenital scoliosis, neuromuscular scoliosis and associated spondylolisthesis). Goal of the study is to check if treatment with TLSO-brace has a delordosing effect on sagittal balance (decrease of lumbar lordosis). The zero-hypothesis: TLSO causes no decrease in lumbar lordosis. Secondary goal is to compare the effect of the BOSTON TSLO-brace and otherwise the CHENEAU TLSO-brace on spinopelvic parameters and lumbar lordosis in special.
