Filter by:In adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), if the appropriate treatment approach is not applied, the patient's general health condition is negatively affected by the deterioration of pulmonary function. Although studies in the literature evaluate individuals with AIS and investigate the effects of exercise training on their functional capacity, no study has been found examining the effectiveness of post-surgical respiratory muscle strength training (IMT). Therefore, this study was designed as a randomized controlled study with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of IMT in the early post-surgical period in individuals with AIS. Participants included individuals diagnosed with AIS, for whom a surgical decision was made by an orthopedic surgeon, and who could cooperate in the tests to be conducted. Twelve patients were in the IMT group, and 12 were in the sham group. Pulmonary function and respiratory and peripheral muscle strength were measured. Functional capacities were assessed using the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT). Disease-specific quality of life (QoL) was evaluated through the Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) and Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire, while dyspnea was assessed using the Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale. In the IMT group, IMT was provided at 60% of the Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (MIP), while in the Sham group, IMT was provided at 5% of MIP.
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.
This is a pilot study aiming to examine preliminary effectiveness of a preparation program which includes simulation (SIMDiscovery) in reducing anxiety and increasing feelings of preparedness among parents and their children who will undergo spinal fusion surgery. SIMDiscovery is an experiential learning preparation program which aims to educate children and families about different medical procedures through simulation play.
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a curvature of the spine that occurs in 1-2% of otherwise healthy children, and requires corrective surgery, posterior spinal fusion (PSF) in ~10% of cases. Some studies suggest that pulmonary function is reduced in AIS and that PSF improves pulmonary function. The lung is composed of a large number of branching airways that terminate in gas exchanging units called alveoli, and the number and structure of these alveoli are partially dependent upon lung volume and the forces to which they are exposed--two factors predicted to be altered in AIS. This study uses MRI imaging of inhaled helium to quantify alveolar structure in children with and without AIS before and one-year after PSF. The goals of the study are to determine if alveolar architecture or number are altered in AIS and whether PSF impacts these same measures.
