Clinical Trial Summary

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).
