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.
This study showed that the addition of hippotherapy to Schroth exercises is more effective in improving postural asymmetry and balance ability in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis compared to Schroth exercises alone. Therefore, this combination should be considered during designing a rehabilitation program for AIS
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).
The purpose of this study was to 1. investigate the degree of agreement between the ultrasound-measured depth (in the transverse median and paramedian sagittal oblique plane) and the actual depth to the epidural space in pediatric patients with scoliosis. 2. investigate the quality of ultrasound view for detecting ligamentum flavum and dura mater.
The Green Sun Medical Dynamic Brace (GSM) brace was developed as an alternative to rigid thoracolumbosacral orthoses (TLSOs, braces) commonly used to prevent continued curve progression in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The brace applies corrective forces to the muscular and bony structures of the spine while preserving range of motion (ROM). The innovative design of this brace should provide an equivalent degree of correction of the scoliotic curvature as a rigid TLSO, with increased acceptability to the patient via improved comfort and spinal/chest wall mobility. Increased acceptability promotes increased adherence to treatment. This is a pilot study to collect preliminary short-term data concerning the safety and performance of the GSM brace in a sample of subjects with AIS who are currently being treated with a TLSO. The study will use clinical exams, x-rays, monitoring equipment, and questionnaires to primarily assess safety and performance. Secondary endpoints include spinal ROM and lung vital capacity assessment, as well as data validation. The study involves 3 visits, a performance check phone call, and 4 follow up calls over a four month span. This is a pilot study and no formal hypothesis testing will be done. Descriptive statistics of selected variables will be calculated.
A new Scoliosis Tele-Screening Test (STS-Test) was developed by a study group of the "Scoliosis Research and Treatment Association Turkey". It will be sent to the families of schoolchildren by e-mail in Turkey. Participants with moderate and high risk for scoliosis according to the result of this test will be invited to the physical examination by the scoliosis specialists, if it is not possible, they will be evaluated via tele-medicine. Participants with moderate and high risks will be invited to the physical examination to the centers designated as research centers. Families who could not reach these centers will be asked to take pictures of their children according to the given instruction. They will be asked to send this photo to the researchers by e-mail. The researchers will be evaluated the TRACE and Adams' test from the photo and sent their opinions to the parents via e-mail. If this virtual analysis made by the expert suggests a suspicion of scoliosis, it will be recommended to see a specialist as soon as possible. The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of this novel scoliosis tele-screening test. A secondary aim is to investigate the coherence of this new test between scoliosis physician and parent when applied to the same child. Specificity, sensitivity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value, and test accuracy will be calculated for the Scoliosis Tele-Screening Test. Correlation between STS-Test and Trace, Adams' test, and physician diagnosis will be analyzed.
The aims of this pilot study are to determine the metabolic demand and exercise intensity level of E-Fit exercise intervention by evaluating the cardiovascular responses in AIS girls and whether the cardiovascular responses for AIS girls performing E-Fit will behave in the same way as compared to healthy controls. We hypothesise that 1) the metabolic demand and exercise intensity of E-Fit exercise intervention is equivalent to moderate-to-vigorous level; and 2) AIS girls have different cardiovascular responses as compared to healthy controls
Variable patterns of gait disturbance can be found in patients with spine disease including the problems of gait initiation, freezing of gait, reduced balance and postural control, reduced step lengths, increased step times, and slow walking speed.
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.
