Filter by:There is an association between adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and low bone mass which has been reported to be a significant prognostic factor for curve progression. Given that dietary calcium (Ca) intake and serum Vit-D levels were also low in AIS, we therefore propose a randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial to evaluate if daily [500mg Ca + 800 IU Vit-D] can improve bone health and prevent curve progression in AIS. Immature AIS girls with Cobb angle 10-20 degrees will be randomized either to the Treatment or Placebo group with 3-year of treatment. The main outcome measures for evaluation for those who have completed the 3-year treatment and have reached skeletal maturity at the end of 3-year treatment include: (1) percentage of patients with increase in Cobb angleā„6 degrees and (2) percentage of patients who require bracing. Bone measurements using advanced image acquisition technology(HR-pQCT) to assess bone health will also be evaluated.
Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS) is defined as scoliosis with onset under the age of ten years, regardless of etiology. It is a complex three-dimensional deformity of the spine which can cause significant physical and psychological problems. Currently there are two basic treatment options available for EOS: non-surgical and surgical. ApiFix Ltd. has developed a novel growing rod system for surgical treatment of EOS, the MID-C system. It is indicated for patients with a scoliosis of 35 to 75 degrees Cobb angle
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a rotational deformity of the spine that could be seen 2-3% of population. Conservative treatment of AIS with 20-45 degree lateral flexion angle (Cobb) includes brace and therapeutic exercises. Some gait abnormalities were defined like decreased torsional movements of spine, increased muscular work and energy expenditure in AIS. Additionally wearing a brace limits pelvic motions and affects pendulum-like mechanism of gait. Our aim was to investigate gait energy consumption, pulmonary functions, balance and lower extremity loading symmetry in AIS subjects who are getting conservative treatment.
The primary purpose of this prospective study is to determine when adolescent athletes with idiopathic scoliosis are able to return to sports participation after posterior spinal fusion surgery.
The Researchers want to assess the short-term safety of Anterior Vertebral Body Tethering (AVBT) in skeletally immature subjects with moderate to severe scoliosis and compare them with a fusion cohort.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise on scoliosis
Observation study about physical activity, motor competence, pulmonary function, and health related quality of life in children, surgically treated for early onset scoliosis
The aim of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of low-dose dual energy CT in the pre-surgical planning of patients with progression of scoliosis
The aim of the study is to evaluate the intraobserver repeatability and the interobserver reproducibility of low-dose radiographs with a HELIOS DRF (CAT) imaging system in patients with idiopathic scoliosis.
This is a second study in a series of 3 studies. The first study assessed exercise compliance of scoliosis patients (adults and children). This study will look at different strategies to improve exercise compliance after a patient has completed an intensive course of treatment at Scoliosis SOS Clinic. It will be a randomised control trial. The control group will receive the regular exercise schedule that is created for the patients at the clinic, there will be two intervention groups, one using the exercise schedule with a diary and one using the exercise schedule with a mobile application. Compliance will be monitored through a questionnaire at their first and second check-up appointments which will take place every 3 months for a patient under the age of 18 and every 6 months for a patient who is 18 years old or over.
