Filter by:Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common three-dimensional deformity of the spine that is typically characterized by curvature in both the coronal and sagittal planes. Selective thoracolumbar fusion (STLF) surgery, is an established corrective surgical technique for spinal deformities with excellent outcomes over time1. The objective of AIS corrective surgery encompasses the rectification of coronal and spinal rotation deformities while concurrently restoring the sagittal profile. However, some scholars suggested that correcting the Cobb angle and rotation deformity of the main thoracic curve has been associated with a sacrifice of sagittal plane aligament. Some researchers observed that significant reduction of thoracic kyphosis (TK) after the coronal deformity was corrected in their study3-5. In addition, Li et al3 found that both lumbar lordosis(LL) and sacral slope (SS) decreased after STLF surgery in their study. The sagittal plane of the spine column should be considered a chain-like structure, one section's change, that leads to compensatory changes in other segments, enables the maintenance of balance6. In addition, some scoloars suggested that the decrease in thoracic kyphosis may caused by vertebral derotation in STLF surgery. Postoperative shoulder imbalance (PSI) is a common complication that arises following STLF surgery, significantly impacting the appearance and satisfaction of patients8. The incidence of PSI varies within a range of 25% to 57%. It is imperative to identify the independent risk factors of PSI which can help in comprehending this phenomenon better and further aiding in deduction of the incidence rate. Although the research on the risk factors for PSI in AIS patients have been conducted for several years , no conclusively determination has been reached. Recently, scholars have been studying the relationship between the rotation of the thoracic spinal column and postoperative shoulder balance. Yagi et al.'s study10 has identified the preoperative rotation of the main thoracic apical vertebrae as a risk factor for PSI. Additionally, Masayoshi et al has reported on the relationship between the rotation of the proximal thoracic apical vertebrae and postoperative shoulder height disatance. In summary, it can be hypothesized that the preoperative and changes of postoperative sagittal spinal parameters may impact the postoperative shoulder balance among AIS patients. However, there is a paucity of literature investigating the effect of sagittal spinal parameters on PSI after STLF surgery. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the correlation between the preoperative and postoperative alterations of sagittal spinal parameters and PSI.
Idiopathic scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine that accounts for approximately 70% of all scoliosis anomalies, and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common type. AIS not only changes the shape of the trunk, but also the relationships between body parts. Considering the close anatomical relationship between the scapula and the rib cage, AIS is associated with changes in scapular position and orientation. Scapular stabilization exercises; these are exercises that aim to restore the position and orientation of the scapula and the motor control and movement pattern of the muscles, thus providing scapula stability for better shoulder kinematics. There are studies reporting that scapular stabilization exercises should be included in the rehabilitation program of patients with scapular dyskinesia and various shoulder pathologies. However, no study has been found in the literature examining the effects of scapular stabilization exercises on changes in scapular position, shoulder imbalance and curve severity seen in scoliosis. Therefore, the aim of the study is to investigate the effect of scapular stabilization exercises applied in addition to Schroth exercises used in the treatment of individuals with AIS, on scoliosis severity, scapula position and shoulder imbalance.
This study is a randomized controlled trial of preoperative oral iron supplementation, to identify whether iron deficiency is a modifiable risk factor for adverse surgical outcomes such as red blood cell transfusion and diminished postoperative cognitive and physical capacity in adolescents undergoing scoliosis surgery. Research Question(s)/Hypothesis(es): Primary - Iron supplementation will reduce the incidence of perioperative RBC transfusion in iron deficient scoliosis patients undergoing spinal fusion. Secondary - Iron supplementation will reduce postoperative neurocognitive functional declines in iron deficient scoliosis patients undergoing spinal fusion. - Iron supplementation will improve patient-reported physical functioning in iron deficient scoliosis patients undergoing spinal fusion.
The investigators aim to validate three-dimensional topographical scanning technology as a tool for evaluation of scoliosis. Through the incorporation of 3D topographical technology in the measurement of deformity, the investigators hope to validate a novel approach to quantify deformity progression and provide an accessible alternative to traditional radiographic workup.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about effect of generalised joint hypermobility on the effectiveness of the brace in children with Adolesan Idiopatic Scoliosis and who use braces due to brace indication. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does Generalized Joint Hypermobility have an effect on the amount of in-brace improvement achieved in children using braces? - Does Generalized Joint Hypermobility have an effect on the change in the numerical variables related to scoliosis recorded in the out-brace measurement at the end of 6 months?
Degenerative (de novo) scoliosis is the result of a long and multifactorial process that occurs through degenerative change in the aging population without a pre-existing spinal deformity. Pain is the most important symptom and the major difference from adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Treatment is often complex and patient-specific. The first aim of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of physical therapy on pain, disability and quality of life in patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis and the second aim is to investigate whether erector spina plan block (ESPB) combined with physical therapy has an effect on the results.
The postural observation of the patient has an important role for the evaluation and monitoring of orthopedic and neurological degenerative pathologies. The study of the effects of rehabilitation in the treatment of postural alterations depends on the validity, sensitivity and specificity of the tool used. The radiographic evaluation of the spine in the standard anteroposterior and lateral projections is the gold standard and provides a standardized and objective measure of the dysmorphisms and paramorphisms of the spine, although it requires exposure to X-rays and with costs of the method especially in the need to repeat the radiological examination in time. Non-radiological tools for postural assessment have been proposed in the literature, with uncertain judgments by the various authors regarding their validity and reliability, due to the heterogeneity and poor quality of the studies in this regard. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new posture analysis methodology (BHOHB SPINAL-METER ® and CervicalMeter®) in measuring spine dysmorphisms and paramorphisms in adult patients affected by orthopedic and neurological degenerative pathologies, who carry out rehabilitation at the Policlinico Gemelli Foundation (FPG) Hospitalization and Rehabilitation Services clinic. In particular, the correspondence of radiological and clinical data with the reports obtained from the "BHOHB SPINAL-METER ® and CervicalMeter®" will be considered and the relationship between the data obtained with the two methods and the characteristics of pain, disability, balance and quality of life will be observed of patients suffering from orthopedic and neurological disease with dysmorphisms and paramorphisms of the spine, belonging to the rehabilitation clinic who agree to participate in the study.
It is not known to what extent the COVID-19 virus affects individuals with scoliosis during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, in this study it was aimed to comparatively investigate pain severity, posture disorders that can be assessed by artificial intelligence, physical activity levels and quality of life in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis with and without COVID-19.
The vertebral column is a structure that transfers the weight of the head and torso to the lower extremity, provides trunk movements and protects the spinal cord.A three dimensional deformity involving lateral flexion of the vertebrae in the frontal plane at 10 ° and above, including axial rotation and physiologic flexion (hypokyphosis) components in the sagittal plane, is defined as scoliosis. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a type of idiopathic scoliosis that occurs in the period from the onset of puberty (up to 10 years) until the closure of growth plates. Scoliosis is caused by postural, balance and neuromotor disorders as a primary cause of impaired sensory integrity, proprioceptive feedback deficits, secondary lung problems, organ disorders and pain. In addition, the quality of life in these individuals is also seen to decrease. There are no studies in the literature examining the effects of Schroth exercise training on trunk muscle strength, respiratory muscle strength, trunk muscle stiffness, balance and quality of life in children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The aim of our study is to examine whether Schroth exercise training has an effect on trunk muscle strength, trunk muscle stiffness, respiratory muscle strength, balance, quality of life and perception of cosmetic deformity in children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It is thought that this study will fill the gap in the literature with the original information it will bring to the literature and will shed light on future studies.
This is a behavioral observational study aimed at evaluating the impact that spinal exercises exert on memory of young people. It consists of a short self-administered questionnaire which will be given to adolescents with scoliosis to complete. Relationships between young individuals' answers and health-related quality of life will be evaluated.
