The function and asymmetry of back muscles will be examined in different positions and with specific spinal corrections based on scoliosis pattern and according to the "Schroth method" in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
The goal of this study is to determine whether introducing VR in the immediate post-operative period following scoliosis repair can reduce perceived pain and stress in pediatric patients and in turn ultimately decrease opioid use. Based on previous studies that have been performed in other fields of pediatrics showing a decrease in pain and stress with VR use, the investigators hypothesize that VR will significantly decrease patient's reported level of pain and stress immediately following the VR session, and that patients will require less opioids during their inpatient stay as a result.
Idiopathic scoliosis is a living problem that resists correction. The underlying cause of the such disorder is unknown but directed more toward muscular disorders. However recent clinical observation showed a possible neuromuscular compromise early in those patients. The main purpose of this study is to develop a treatment procedure to correct the degree of bony curvature in patients with Idiopathic scoliosis through developing a neuromuscular corrective approach that might be a more effective conservative treatment protocol for such disorder.
To date, there is no objective assessment method for the quality of the self-correction performed by patients with scoliosis. The study consists of two parts, both retrospective, and distinct on the basis of the tools used to assess self-correction. Part 1: Retrospective assessment of the radiographic variations between spontaneous position and self-correction in subjects suffering from juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Both measurements were performed in a single session. Part 2: Retrospective assessment of the variations between spontaneous and self-correcting position in subjects with juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis using objective parameters deriving from non-invasive 3D ultrasound instrumentation (Scolioscan, Telefeld, Hong Kong).
The aim of the study is to compare the spine joint reposition sense in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and healthy adolescents and to investigate whether there is a difference.
The study population concerns adolescent patients with idiopathic scoliosis which requires surgical management and who have a longer waiting period of 6 months. The aim of this study is to research the predictive factors of an improvement in the quality of life of adolescents who have had surgery.
The study uses a yoga-like isometric posture and botulinum injections to reduce the curves in adolescent idiopathic lumbar scoliosis. Three previous studies show that the yoga pose is effective for reversing scoliotic curves; Botulinum toxin has been approved by the FDA for teenagers. However, no studies using the two of them together have been done until this one.
This study aims to develop a new instrument capable of providing an efficient measure of the quality of life of parents of conservatively treated patients with spinal deformity. The development of a questionnaire in a Rasch environment and specifically developed for parents of conservatively treated patients will ensure greater sensitivity and specificity of the questionnaire.
The present project aims to test the feasibility of a new management mechanism for inter-visit monitoring of adolescent patients with idiopathic scoliosis that improves the quality and safety of current orthopedic treatments using information and communication technologies (ICT).
