Filter by:In this study, which aims to evaluate the respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength of individuals with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), it is planned to investigate the relationship between the respiratory parameters obtained and the severity, type, location of the curvature, rotation angle and wearing brace. The population of the study consists of individuals with AIS, and the sample consists of individuals with AIS followed in the Goztepe Prof. Dr. Suleyman Yalcin City Hospital, Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic. For this purpose, it was planned to include at least 60 individuals with AIS, aged 10 years and older, with at least 20 degrees of scoliotic curvature, who applied to the clinic for the first time or came for control. Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT) will be applied to evaluate the respiratory functions of the participants involved, and intraoral pressure measurement (MIP, MEP) will be applied to evaluate the inspiratory and expiratory muscle strengths; The severity of the scoliotic curvature will be measured with the Cobb method on the same day's radiograph, and the axial rotation angle will be measured with the Scoliometer. IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 24 statistical program will be used in the analysis of the data. Continuous variables will be given as mean ± standard deviation, qualitative variables as numbers and percentages. Pearson Correlation analysis will be used for the relationship between the variables, Independent Samples t-test will be used for the comparison of independent groups, and statistical significance will be taken as p≤0.05 in all measurements. It is thought that this planned study will contribute to studies evaluating the respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength of individuals with AIS, which have been designed in different types and reported different results in the literature. Evidence-based data obtained by determining the clinical parameters associated with these values are expected to guide clinicians in terms of being holistic in the treatment of individuals with scoliosis, and in which situations and for what purpose pulmonary rehabilitation approaches should be included.
The aim is to assess the influence of asymmetric training on the locomotor system in sweep rowers. To analyse possible changes objectively, the axial position of the hull will be assessed using Moiré topography, and the symmetry of foot loading will be monitored with a pedobarograph. Furthermore, the Visual Analog scale and Cluster of Laslett will determine whether an asymmetric load can provoke pain in the lumbar region or cause a blockage in the SI joint. In the experimental study, there will be three different groups of participants. Selected sweep rowers will make the first study group. The second group will consist of scull rowers, and the last control group will consist of people with no experience with rowing. The selected participants will undergo the first measurement at the turn of the spring and summer seasons when intensive preparation for rowing competitions begins, in which sweep rowers train mainly on water and asymmetrically. The measurement results in the three groups will be further compared with each other to evaluate whether statistically significant differences can be found.
The aim of the study is to evaluate scoliosis and postural deformities in secondary school students in Famagusta region. Secondary school students who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study, which will be conducted in the form of screening in public and private schools in the Famagusta region of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Sociodemographic information of the individuals will be obtained first. Then, Adam's forward bending test, trunk rotation angle with scoliometer, foot posture index and New York posture index will be evaluated. Evaluations will be made within a single day.
Radiographical images in Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) can have a potential radiation-induced oncogenic effect. In this study, the investigators aim to compare a fluoroscopic imaging technique (LFT) with traditional radiographs for scoliosis (ORT), to see if LFT is adequate for clinical evaluation of AIS and having a lower radiation dose. Method Image quality will evaluated for LTF and ORT of phantom images and images from 3D printed models of AIS. The investigators will measure primary physical characteristics of noise, contrast, spatial resolution, SNR, and CNR. Three independent raters will evaluate the images by observer-based methods of ICS and VGAS. Radiation doses will be evaluated by DAP measurements. Two raters will perform measurements of 6 radiographic parameters for the LFT images of AIS

Evaluation of all cases included in the study was planned at two separate times with 8-week intervals. In the analysis of the data, continuous variables will be given as mean ± standard deviation, qualitative variables as number and percentage (%); statistical tests will be determined according to the distribution of the data, and the significance will be taken as p≤0.05 in all measurements.
This study is designed to evaluate the coronal, sagittal, and axial correction of deformity secondary to adolescent idiopathic scoliosis utilizing a technique employing a posterior spinal fusion construct utilizing rods of different material rigidity and asymmetric bends determined using computer-based software to pre-operatively template a best-fit rod contour from pre-operative radiographs. To further evaluate the changes in contour of the rods from the pre-operative templates to the post-implantation radiographs.
Background: In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of regular Schroth exercises on pulmonary functions in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients who use rigid braces and perform Schroth exercises regularly. Objective: The main purpose of this study, is to investigate the effects of Schroth exercises on pulmonary functions in adolescents who use rigid braces and perform Schroth exercises regularly. Methods: Twenty-four patients with AIS were included in the study. The patients who wore rigid braces and performed the SSE therapy constituted the "Brace&Exercise" (N=12), and the patients who wore full-time rigid braces but did not perform exercise constituted the "Brace Group" (N=12) of the study. The effects of Schroth exercises on pulmonary functions were measured at the beginning of treatment and the 8th week of the treatment. Keywords: Adolescent, idiopathic scoliosis, conservative treatment, brace, respiratory function, Schroth exercises.
Background: Scoliosis is the most common orthopedic comorbidity in Rett syndrome (RTT), with a prevalence of 94% and a mean curve progression of 14-21° Cobb annually. A scoliosis prevention intervention based on daily activity programs was proposed for people with RTT within uncontrolled study designs. Aim: The current study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a home-based activity program carried out during daily life to slow the progression of scoliosis in girls with RTT. Ethics: The proposal was approved by Ariel university IRB. All participants' parents will sign informed consent forms. Participants: Twenty Italian girls aged between six and 16 years with a genetically confirmed classic RTT and scoliosis at a severity level between 10° and 40° Cobb will be recruited and randomly divided into two groups (immediate intervention - Group 1; wait-list-intervention - Group 2). Both groups will follow the same 10-month intervention program, 10 months apart. Outcome measures: Participants' scoliosis Cobb's angle, motor functioning, and behavioral characteristics will be assessed three times. Procedure: Each participant will be evaluated three times: at T1, T2, and T3. Participants in the Group 1 will conduct the intervention for 10 months between T0 and T1. Group 2 will perform the intervention between T1 and T2. The interventions will comprise daily home-based activity programs carried out by participants' caregivers within everyday living environments. An expert therapist will remotely supervise each program through an ad hoc developed smartphone application. Specific strategies that will be implemented during the intervention will include the maintenance of asymmetrical postures that oppose the scoliosis curve during activities and exercises in sitting, standing, and walking positions (according to each participant's functional abilities). These strategies refer to a hypercorrective postural positioning of scoliosis. In addition, activities involving weight bearing on the lower limbs, such as walking and standing for at least two hours a day, will be encouraged, and passive stretching and spinal mobilization exercises will be conducted.
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis; by problem of stabilty causes postural changes, because of this reason patient with scoliosis needs to assesment by risk of balance. Postural adjustments are required, both in a static stance and during walking. Insoles from foot orthoses support better postural balance and control. It has been reported that approximately 87% of scoliosis patients have pelvic asymmetry, and patients with scoliosis with a Cobb angle of 15⁰ or more have balance problems in their feet. Foot orthoses (FO) correct pelvic asymmetry and reduce lower extremity joint angles during walking. In the literature, although there are studies such as balance assessment and plantar pressure analysis in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients, there are not enough studies on the effect of insoles used in scoliosis patients, and it has been observed that there is no study on the effect of insoles on treatment in patients using spinal orthosis. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of insoles on the treatment of scoliosis patients using Chêneau type spinal orthosis. In the study; The effect of insoles on patients with 20-45⁰ curvature, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and using Chêneau type spinal orthosis; It was planned to investigate the groups using and not using insoles at the beginning of the treatment and after 3 months of follow-up by comparing the results of Cobb angle measurement, functional capacity assessment test, quality of life assessment test, balance test and plantar pressure analysis.
Fifty-eight participants with AIS and 45 healthy controls were included in the study. Active mandibular movements including depression, protrusion, and left-right deviation were assessed with a ruler. Facial anthropometry was measured on facial shape on photograph, and phenotype and asymmetry were determined from the acquired anthropometric facial data. Neck mobility was evaluated in movements of flexion, extension, right-left lateral flexion, and right-left rotation using a standard flexible tape. The Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire was used to assess neck awareness. Neck pain in the previous week was measured with a Visual Analog Scale.
