Idiopathic Adolescent Scoliosis: Living with a Physical Deformity
A qualitative, phenomenological, hermeneutical study with the aim of explaining the experience of having a body deformity diagnosed as idiopathic adolescent scoliosis. A semistructured interview conducted with scoliosis patients admitted to the unit of spinal cord at the Vall d’Hebron Hospital was used. The youth defined their scoliosis based on how they perceived their deformity. They spoke of...
متن کاملComparison of trunk and spine deformity in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
BACKGROUND Cobb measurement of standing radiographs is the standard for clinical assessment of coronal spinal deformity. Angle of trunk inclination (ATI) is an accepted clinical measurement of trunk asymmetry, and has variable reported correlations with Cobb angles. Transverse plane spine deformity is most accurately measured using axial computed tomography. Aaro and Dahlbourn's technique for q...
متن کاملThe Biomechanics of Spinal Deformity in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Spinal deformity biomechanics represent a complex topic, as many anatomic and physical variations exist that can affect the biomechanical behavior of the spinal column. Because the Homo sapiens species walks upright, the center of mass lies directly below the vertebral column, which stands in contrast to other vertebrate species [1,2]. In quadrupeds, the center of mass is typically anterior to ...
متن کاملAnterior chest hump in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis- questionnaire evaluation
Background Thoracic hump, shoulder imbalance, lumbar hump were known as trunk deformities associated with scoliosis bothering patients. In addition to these deformities, anterior chest hump (ACH) occurring at the distal end of the anterior chest wall on the convex side, may be another noteworthy problem. We evaluated how much patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) were bothered by ...
متن کاملCardiac and respiratory responses to exercise in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Twenty girls, aged 11-15 years, with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were studied before spinal fusion was performed. Each underwent a range of lung function tests and a standardised progressive exercise test on a bicycle ergometer. The resting lung function tests showed reduced peak flow rates, lung volumes, and maximum voluntary ventilation. The maximum oxygen uptake was slightly diminished b...
