Filter by:The effect of a modular seating system on coronal and sagittal balance of the spine and pelvic obliquity in children with non-ambulatory (Gross Motor Function Classification System Level IV-V) and scoliosis The hypothesis in our study is; a modular adaptive seating system prevents the progression of spinal curvature and Reimer's maturation index, improves the sagittal balance of the spine and pelvic obliquity.
Adult degenerative scoliosis is the most common spine deformity in adults. Patients present a lateral curvature of the spine and vertebra rotation. Curves meeting indications for treatment affect 24% of the aging adult population. Adult scoliosis causes pain, curve progression, and cosmetic deformity affecting quality of life and function. Pain affects 90% of patients with AS. Other than surgery for severe cases and pain medication, very little non-operative treatments have been investigated. Scoliosis-specific exercises have shown promise in a single study in adults and in an Alberta adolescent study. The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial on the effect of Schroth exercises in adults with degenerative scoliosis compared to observation is to determine the feasibility of conducting a larger study. This study will help plan and secure funding for a larger study by examining the ability to recruit enough eligible participants, whether patients can follow the prescribed program session attendance and complete the home exercises prescribed. The early estimate the effects of the exercises on pain, quality of life, disability, deformity and posture measurements will help determine the potential of this approach and the likely success of a larger RCT. This study addresses a need of adults with degenerative scoliosis who do not meet surgical indications but still experience pain and disability by exploring a promising exercise approach.
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and clinical significance of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children with mild-moderate idiopathic scoliosis (IS).
As a registry, the primary objective of the study is a data collection initiative. The study will collect clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients implanted with Medicrea's PSR. The secondary objective is to collect clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients with Medicrea hardware as a control cohort to the patient-specific rods.
This study evaluates in a prospectively collected multicenter cohort the existence, characteristics and determinants of EBPCA, the obtained results and their determinant, the rate of over- and under-treatment and their determinants.
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.
The new device with digital technology provides a new avenue to enable clinicians to communicate wirelessly with the imbedded core system such that they can adjust the electrical stimulation parameters and retrieve the temperature data for further compliance analysis. The smart phone and cloud technology can be effectively applied for both security and convenience. The electrical stimulation technology integrated with the total contact spinal orthosis combines the external correction forces on the spinal skeleton from the passive orthosis with the muscle forces at the lateral trunk from the stimulation process. The electrical stimulation is purposely to tone the muscle in order to replace the external mechanical forces gradually. Ultimately, when being weaned off the orthosis, patients may maintain the correction.
The vertebral column is a structure that transfers the weight of the head and torso to the lower extremity, provides trunk movements and protects the spinal cord.A three dimensional deformity involving lateral flexion of the vertebrae in the frontal plane at 10 ° and above, including axial rotation and physiologic flexion (hypokyphosis) components in the sagittal plane, is defined as scoliosis. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a type of idiopathic scoliosis that occurs in the period from the onset of puberty (up to 10 years) until the closure of growth plates. Scoliosis is caused by postural, balance and neuromotor disorders as a primary cause of impaired sensory integrity, proprioceptive feedback deficits, secondary lung problems, organ disorders and pain. In addition, the quality of life in these individuals is also seen to decrease.Children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have inadequate respiratory function and a decrease in functional capacity. At the same time, these children show muscle weakness in certain parts of the body. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between home based core stabilization training, respiratory parameters, peripheral muscle strength, balance, functional capacity and quality of life in individuals with young scoliosis. The investigators suggest that the addition of core stabilization training to children with mild and moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will produce good results.
This study aims to estimate the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency among patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, to calculate the differences in serum vitamin D levels, Cobb angles, spinal bone mass densities, and serum alkaline phosphatase levels between genders in the sample, and to assess the possibility of a correlation between any of these factors in those surgical patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes of patients with degenerative disc disease undergo lumbar spinal fusion with Stryker's Tritanium® Posterior Lumbar Cage or the UniLIF PEEK implant.
