Filter by: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.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of myofascial release on spinal curvature, premenstrual symptoms, and quality of life in scoliotic females with dysmenorrhea
This study was conducted to determine the physiological and mechanical effects of physical training post surgical correction of adolescent scoliosis using vertebral derotation.
This study has to purpose Yoga and Meditation before surgery for idiopathic scoliosis. Protocol's observance will tell the investigators if it is feasible and appropriate in a University hospital center.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect that corrective surgery for scoliosis would have on pulmonary function as well as the circumference of the chest. As a result, the current investigation was carried out on thirty individuals who had idiopathic scoliosis and had been admitted to the hospital. Before the surgery, after it had been completed (on the fifth day), and again three months later, the pulmonary function was tested.
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity usually associated with intervertebral rotation that takes place during adolescence. Generally, bracing treatment is a common option for scoliosis patients. Non-surgical treatment for scoliosis patients is to offer a conservative solution to treat their condition and encourage a higher degree of compliance by avoiding interference with their daily life activities. Therefore, intelligent nighttime braces have been developed to solve this issue, which are intended to be worn for inhibiting the advancement of spinal deformity during sleeping hours. However, its efficacy is still controversial. Intelligent nighttime brace with a specialized design for teenagers with scoliosis is limited and most part of them are lack of mobility and lack of control over corrective forces on particular regions of the vertebra. A scientific approach should be used to design and develop intelligent nighttime brace as a treatment option for adolescents with early scoliosis.
Working in partnership with Montefiore-Einstein's Department of Translational Psychiatry, the study team investigators have designed a prospective randomized clinical trial (2:1) study for 45 AIS patients (10-19 yrs.). This protocol includes a baseline assessment of mental health, pain, and function in AIS patients utilizing validated patient reported outcome measures. The investigators will implement and test a structured perioperative psychological intervention program, based on the Aim to Decrease Anxiety and Pain Treatment (ADAPT), which was developed based on evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) protocols for the management of pediatric pain and childhood anxiety disorders
In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of spinal mobilization techniques applied in addition to core stabilization exercises in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients. Consecutive adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis, aged 10 to 16 years, without a brace, and with a Cobb curvature of 10 to 25 degrees were randomly divided into two groups using the closed envelope method: Spinal mobilization and core stabilization exercise were applied to the experimental group; Only core stabilization exercises were applied to the control group. Both groups received interventions twice a week for 10 weeks. Outcome measurements were made before treatment and after 10 weeks of treatment.
Introduction: Truncal shift caused by scoliosis can be measured with a Formetric Scanner using the Maximal Thoracic Apical Deviation (MTAD) measurement. It is a well-documented complaint with regards to body-image in patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS). Furthermore, thoracic apical deviation is an important measure in pre-operative assessment and post-operative outcomes. Objective: The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to determine the long-term effects of an intensive course of Physiotherapy Scoliosis Specific Exercise (PSSE) on MTAD in patients with IS. Methods: Consecutive IS patients with a single right-sided thoracic curvature who completed an intensive 4-week course of PSSE were recruited. Data was collected between April 2019 and December 2021. All patients were routinely scanned using a Formetric Scanner pre-, immediately post-, 12- and 24-months post-treatment. MTAD, measured in millimetres, was documented. Adults (>17 years old) (group 1) and children (group 2) were analysed separately.
While various complex pathologies of the developmental age, such as Infantile Cerebral Palsy or Neuromuscular Diseases, are notoriously considered causes of alteration of locomotor development, it is scarcely known whether conditions much more frequent in the pediatric population, the so-called "Paramorphisms or Dysmorphisms", may be associated with more or less noticeable changes in locomotor development. On a few studies, flat feet and hyperlaxity has been correlated with a motor control delay or poorer motor performance, based on complex clinical tests or on stereophotogrammetry movement analysis. Although promising, these preliminary studies, in addition to not providing information on the possible influence of other paramorphisms, such as varus and valgus of the knees, do not provide conclusive indications. The aim of this study is to investigate, through clinical tests and wearable inertial units, the motor control of a pediatric population affected by Paramorphisms or Dysmorphisms and to compare them with a population of healthy controls, matched by age, taken from the recently developed control data set from Bisi and Stagni.
