Assessing Thoracic and Lumbar Spinal Curvature Norm: A Systematic Review
Background: The quality and condition of the human body are of particular importance. This is because the positive and negative changes resulting from this matter could affect other conditions. The skeletal condition of the spine is an essential part of a person's physical condition. Recognizing correct positions has always attracted the attention of sports scientists. The present study review...
متن کاملStature and growth compensation for spinal curvature.
UNLABELLED Spinal curvatures alter measured stature and may influence the evaluation of skeletal maturity and growth based on stature measurements. METHODS A dataset of calibrated measurements of vertebral positions of 407 radiographs in the frontal plane, together with clinically measured Cobb angles was used to determine the difference between spinal length and spinal height ('height loss')...
متن کاملSpinal curvature measurement by tracked ultrasound snapshots.
Monitoring spinal curvature in adolescent kyphoscoliosis requires regular radiographic examinations; however, the applied ionizing radiation increases the risk of cancer. Ultrasound imaging is favored over radiography because it does not emit ionizing radiation. Therefore, we tested an ultrasound system for spinal curvature measurement, with the help of spatial tracking of the ultrasound transd...
متن کاملThin Edges in Braces
The bicontraction of a vertex v of degree two in a graph, with precisely two neighbours v1 and v2, consists of shrinking the set {v1, v, v2} to a single vertex. The retract of a matching covered graph G, denoted by Ĝ, is the graph obtained from G by repeatedly bicontracting vertices of degree two. Up to isomorphism, the retract of a matching covered graph G is unique. If G is a brace on six or ...
متن کاملSpinal Curvature Treatment: The Utilization of Resorbable Anterior Spinal Fusion Systems to Combat Spinal Deformities
Objectives/Goals Considering the variety of spinal deformity treatments, many patients agree that after surgery their mobility is significantly reduced. The utilization of resorbable materials for anterior spinal fusion systems, patients will experience the success of spinal deformity treatment and retain their prior mobility. If the systems are used on vertebrae with larger anterior width, the...
