Filter by:Scoliosis is a three-dimensional torsional deformation of the spine and trunk. Chest deformity and pelvic asymmetry are often seen together with spinal deformity. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis occurs from the onset of puberty until growth plate closure and is the most common of all scoliosis. One of the most common deformities among posture disorders is known as scoliosis. The change in load distribution resulting from this three-dimensional deformation causes postural changes in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. According to a study, it is thought that postural control and central information processing efficiency may decrease as the Cobb angle increases in people with scoliosis.
The aim of this study was to see the effect of pilates-based exercise training applied with hybrid telerehabilitation method on Cobb angle, trunk rotation angle (ATR), respiratory functions, respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity in children with AIS between the ages of 10-18 and home-based pilates exercise. compare its effectiveness with respect to its training. Investigators of this study think that synchronous telerehabilitation sessions added to home-based pilates exercise training in children with AIS with moderate and moderate-to-severe curves can have positive effects on the evaluation parameters examined, and the results of this study can guide the relevant physiotherapists and health professionals by adding a new perspective to the literature.
This study intends to investigate the effect of bracing on respiratory function in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). In particular, it will look at the effect of the brace on respiratory function and 3D volume of the thoracic cage. An additional evaluation of the pressure forces of the brace, using a connected t-shirt, will be carried out. The investigators hypothesise that the brace will decrease the respiratory parameters and 3D volume of the thoracic cage, especially during deep breathing.
The goal of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial at a single institution comparing erector spinae plane blockade (ESPB) with liposomal bupivacaine (LB, Exparel) to intravenous (IV) methadone for managing pain in pediatric subjects undergoing adolescent and juvenile idiopathic scoliosis correction. Specifically, the goal is to enroll 15 subjects in each group and to complete data collection for all subjects. If this pilot study is successful, we plan to then design a larger scale study powered to compare specific outcomes between the two groups.
for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis child, investigator will use Barcelona scoliosis physical therapy school and International scoliosis schroth therapy to see which school is better in dealing with scoliosis.
The implementation of an mechanical in-exsufflator device (MI-E) requires specific expertise because it is a complex device that requires fine-tuning of the settings according to different clinical situations to optimize its effectiveness. Generally, it is performed by experienced physiotherapists in neuromuscular disease reference centers or directly at home via medical-technical home care providers. Treatment data is recorded by the machine at each MI-E session, which may be daily or less frequent, depending on the patient's dependency. All of this information can be accessed by manually downloading the data from the SD card that comes with each MI-E machine. Therefore, the retrieval of this information systematically requires the visit of staff to the patient's home. To date, compliance with these devices is not regularly measured since there is no means of telecommunication allowing remote monitoring of these therapies, whereas technological development in the field of remote monitoring has allowed remote monitoring of patients with sleep apnea syndrome treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and, more recently, of some patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency treated with invasive ventilation (NIV). These developments are transforming on the one hand the follow-up of patients under NIV at home by the medical and paramedical teams and on the other hand the financial coverage by the health insurance organizations (ETAPES programs). Within the framework of NIV therapy, we think that remote monitoring of the quality of the sessions, i.e. measurement of peak expiratory flow, insufflated volumes, frequency and duration of the sessions, could facilitate and improve the follow-up of these patients for the medical-technical providers, the expert physiotherapists and the doctors of the reference centers. It is still too early to assume the extent to which data from remote monitoring of MI-E devices would improve patient follow-up. Nevertheless, given the increasing number of devices installed over the past several years, it is likely that the issue of telemonitoring will become a central issue. Thus, in this observational trial, we propose to evaluate the feasibility of a simple system of remote monitoring of MI-E devices in non-therapy-naive patients, with the objective of assessing the barriers and limitations of remote monitoring in this population. Primary aim is to evaluate the feasibility of remote monitoring of data from the MI-E device used in the patient's home in neuromuscular diseases. Patients will be identified by the investigators using the AGIR à dom software package (medical-technical follow-up file). If the patient accepts, the information and no-objection form will be sent to them electronically or by mail following this call, and at least 3 days before their scheduled appointment. During the patient's usual follow-up visit, if the patient does not object to participating in the study, AGIR staff in dom will install the device. This visit will take place in the patient's home. During this visit, a SanDisk (SD) Eye-Fi SDHC 4GB + WiFi Class4 memory card will be inserted into the port provided, in place of the memory card already present in the MI-E device. Then a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B will be placed in the room where the MI-E device is normally used by the patient, and connected to a power source (accessible electrical outlet in the room). The wifi SD card, which uses the device's power supply, will communicate with the Raspberry Pi via the wifi network and upload the recorded data each time the MI-E device is used. After 90 days, a routine recovery visit will be scheduled. AGIR à dom staff will replace the wifi SD card installed during the D0 visit with the standard SD card originally provided with the MI-E device. The data locally on the SD Wifi card will then be downloaded for analysis and comparison with the data being uploaded
Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) refers to pain that occurs or increases after surgery and lasts longer than 3 months. Severe postoperative acute pain is one of the major risk factors of CPSP. Spine surgery brings severe postoperative pain due to large trauma and long duration. Ketamine and esketamine are N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists; they have anti-hyperalgesic effects and may reduce CPSP. Dexmedetomidine is an alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist with sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic effect; it is frequently used as an adjuvant to postoperative analgesia. In a previous trial of the investigators, 200 patients following scoliosis correction surgery were randomzied to receive opioid analgsia supplemented with either mini-dose esketamine-dexmedetomidine combination or placebo. The results showed that esketamine-dexmedetomidine supplement analgesia significantly improved analgesia and sleep quality after surgery. This study is designed to test the hypothesis that mini-dose esketamine-dexmedetomidine supplemented analgesia may reduce CPSP at 2 years after scoliosis correction surgery.
In this study, which aims to evaluate the respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength of individuals with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), it is planned to investigate the relationship between the respiratory parameters obtained and the severity, type, location of the curvature, rotation angle and wearing brace. The population of the study consists of individuals with AIS, and the sample consists of individuals with AIS followed in the Goztepe Prof. Dr. Suleyman Yalcin City Hospital, Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic. For this purpose, it was planned to include at least 60 individuals with AIS, aged 10 years and older, with at least 20 degrees of scoliotic curvature, who applied to the clinic for the first time or came for control. Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT) will be applied to evaluate the respiratory functions of the participants involved, and intraoral pressure measurement (MIP, MEP) will be applied to evaluate the inspiratory and expiratory muscle strengths; The severity of the scoliotic curvature will be measured with the Cobb method on the same day's radiograph, and the axial rotation angle will be measured with the Scoliometer. IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 24 statistical program will be used in the analysis of the data. Continuous variables will be given as mean ± standard deviation, qualitative variables as numbers and percentages. Pearson Correlation analysis will be used for the relationship between the variables, Independent Samples t-test will be used for the comparison of independent groups, and statistical significance will be taken as p≤0.05 in all measurements. It is thought that this planned study will contribute to studies evaluating the respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength of individuals with AIS, which have been designed in different types and reported different results in the literature. Evidence-based data obtained by determining the clinical parameters associated with these values are expected to guide clinicians in terms of being holistic in the treatment of individuals with scoliosis, and in which situations and for what purpose pulmonary rehabilitation approaches should be included.
This is a single center, prospective, non-randomized reproducibility study of the NSite device in patients undergoing evaluation for scoliosis. The NSite device is a pre-market, investigational device. The study will enroll 13 eligible patients, who will be scanned using the NSite device by 3 separate users in order to assess if the device generates similar results across users. This data will be used to support 510(k) submission.
The aim is to assess the influence of asymmetric training on the locomotor system in sweep rowers. To analyse possible changes objectively, the axial position of the hull will be assessed using Moiré topography, and the symmetry of foot loading will be monitored with a pedobarograph. Furthermore, the Visual Analog scale and Cluster of Laslett will determine whether an asymmetric load can provoke pain in the lumbar region or cause a blockage in the SI joint. In the experimental study, there will be three different groups of participants. Selected sweep rowers will make the first study group. The second group will consist of scull rowers, and the last control group will consist of people with no experience with rowing. The selected participants will undergo the first measurement at the turn of the spring and summer seasons when intensive preparation for rowing competitions begins, in which sweep rowers train mainly on water and asymmetrically. The measurement results in the three groups will be further compared with each other to evaluate whether statistically significant differences can be found.
