Filter by:The construction methods of the same brace vary on an experiential basis according to who builds them, the prescriber, the characteristics of the patients and also the innovations introduced to ensure greater comfort for the patient. The closure of the brace or the way in which the two shells are fixed varies at the discretion of the orthopedic technician. Plastic materials have also changed. In addition, the use of the classic cast for the production of the negative model was gradually replaced by cad-cam technology. In some cases, modular constructions were introduced with respect to the customized one. All this has changed the classic corsets over time, even without changing their name / type, and according to the hypothesis that their effectiveness remained at least the same, if not even improved. There are no publications that have shown variations in efficacy that can be correlated with some of these stylistic variations. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively investigate whether the various innovations and stylistic variations over time have had an effect on the clinical, functional and radiographic outcomes in growing subjects suffering from spinal deformity treated with corsets at a specialized center.
The objective is to evaluate the effect of the association of virtual reality sessions with usual management on the cumulative consumption of morphine equivalent post-operatively in adolescents aged 13 to 18 years who have undergone scoliosis surgery.
Prospective, Multicenter, Case-Control Analysis of the VersaTie Posterior Fixation System to Prevent Proximal Junctional Failure in Long Posterior Spinal Fusion Constructs for Adult Patients
Evaluate surgical treatment outcomes and identify best practice guidelines for complex adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients treated with minimally invasive approach, including radiographic and clinical outcomes, surgical and postoperative complications, risk factors for and revision surgery rates, and the role of standard work to improve patient outcomes and reduce surgical and postoperative complications.
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).
This is a post-market clinical follow-up study that use questionnaires such as Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Neck Disability Index (NDI), or the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) to compare the clinical improvement effects before and after surgery.
Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common spinal deformity in children and adolescents with an estimated prevalence of 3%. About one tenth of the children with scoliosis develop a deformity that requires treatment with brace or surgery with the current treatment protocol. When brace treatment for scoliosis is indicated, standard treatment consists of bracing 20 hours or more per day. Outcomes of brace treatment depend to a large extent on wearing time and since many adolescents feel uncomfortable in the brace, it is of importance to combine efficacy and comfortability of the brace.
Neuromuscular diseases caused by disruption of the normal conduction relationship between nerve system, neuromuscular junction, and muscles cause scoliosis as a secondary deformity. Neuromuscular scoliosis progresses due to muscle weakness and characteristic features of disease. The risk of complications associated with increased progression. Morbidity and mortality caused by scoliosis in neuromuscular diseases can be reduced by increasing the knowledge and awareness of the caregivers and physiotherapists. In this study, it was aimed to determine the risk of neuromuscular scoliosis and the factors which can cause in children with disabilities. It is also aimed to reveal inferences related to education levels, awareness of caregivers and professionals working in this field to determine cases with a high risk of scoliosis. Thus, it is expected to leading future research to develop preventive treatment approaches. For this purpose, 288 children who are diagnosed with the neuromuscular disease between 3-18 years of age, attending Rehabilitation Center in Istanbul and willing to participate in the research permitted by their caregiver will be included in this study. Cerebral Palsy Follow-Up Program (CPUP), Parents and Professionals Awareness Questionnaire related to Neuromuscular Scoliosis which is prepared by researchers, Early Onset Scoliosis 24 Questionnaire, Scoliosis Research Society 22 Questionnaire to assess QoL, demographic and clinical data also will collect for all sample. Patients will be examined for musculoskeletal system, scoliosis analysis will be performed radiologically. Data obtained to determine the problems, risk factors, and awareness of the caregivers and physiotherapists will be analyzed statistically.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the reliability and validity of a new device similar to a scoliometer. The intended name of the device will be Scolioscope
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most frequent spinal deformity in adolescence, but its etiology remains unknown. Recent publications suggest a link between ciliopathy and AIS. More specifically a modification of the cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) flow by ciliary dysfunction could be at the origin of a scoliotic deformity. This study aims to compare the CSF flow measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in an AIS group and a control group.
