Trunk asymmetry in juveniles
BACKGROUND Trunk asymmetry (TA) is a common phenomenon in children, but its incidence in juveniles is not known. The present cross sectional study reports TA in normal juveniles and provides data which describe the evolution of TA from early childhood to adolescence. MATERIALS AND METHODS The scoliometer readings in both standing and sitting forward bending position (FBP) of 3301 children, (1...
متن کاملPosition-dependent trunk asymmetry assessed with scoliometer
Materials and methods The study comprised 996 girls, aged 9 to 13, mean 11.0 ± 1.0 years of age. ATI measurements were performed at three levels of the spine: proximal thoracic, main thoracic and thoracolumbar/lumbar. Maximal ATI values for standing and sitting forward bending positions were noted. Based on the ‘7°’ criterion, the number of children who need follow up was revealed, according to...
متن کاملStudy of trunk asymmetry in normal children and adolescents
The scoliometer readings in both standing and sitting position of 2071 children and adolescents (1099 boys and 972 girls) aged from 5 to 18 years old were studied. The angle of trunk rotation (ATR) was measured, in order to quantify the existing trunk asymmetry. Children and adolescents were divided in two groups according to the severity of trunk asymmetry. In the first group asymmetry was 1 t...
متن کاملSpinal Injuries in Juveniles
Injuries of the spine are rare in children (Jaki 1930, Arendt 1958, Gelehrter and Vitalli 1960, Howarth and Petrie 1964, Vinz 1964, Broger 1968), amounting to only 25 per cent (Gelehrter 1957) or 33 per cent (Forni 1947) of all spinal injuries. During eight years we have observed twelve ofa total of 100 spinal injuries in subjects between the ages ofnothing and eighteen years coming to necropsy...
متن کاملMeasuring anterior trunk deformity in scoliosis: development of asymmetry parameters using surface topography (a pilot study)
BACKGROUND Clinicians who assess and treat patients for scoliosis typically use parameters that are all visible from the posterior view. Radiographs assess the internal spinal deformity, but do not directly evaluate body shape, either posterior or anterior. This is problematic, as the patient is most concerned about the way they appear in the mirror. An objective set of anterior measurements is...
