Coronal plane alignment in orthotic treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: evaluation of balance parameters in orthotic outcomes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Materials and methods This is a retrospective study examining coronal plane spine radiographs of 27 adolescents diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis and prescribed a Boston Brace-style thoracolumbosacral orthosis. Cobb angle, decompensation of C7, and Overall Balance Summation (OBS) (Carlson and Smith, 2007) were measured on pre-brace, in-brace, and immediately post-brace x-rays for each subject. Curve progression was defined as a greater than 5 degree increase in Cobb angle or greater than 10mm increase in OBS. A statistical analysis was performed to determine significant differences between bracing success and failure groups for in pre-brace and in-brace curve values.

Evaluation of Patient Outcome and Satisfaction after Surgical Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Using Scoliosis Research Society-30
Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) may lead to physical and mental problems. It also can adversely affect patient satisfaction and the quality of life. In this study, we assessed the outcomes and satisfaction rate after surgical treatment of AIS using scoliosis research society-30 questionnaire (SRS-30). Methods: We enrolled 135 patients with AIS undergoing corrective surgery...

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of bracing on preventing curve progression in coronal plane for mild and moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients has been confirmed by previous radiographic researches. However, a hypokyphotic effect on the sagittal plane has been reported by a few studies. A relatively increasing number of AIS patients were noticed to wear a new kind of elastic orth...

Background information Conservative treatment of the spine has been used for many more years than surgical treatment, especially for the management of idiopathic scoliosis. In general, the biomechanical plan of the orthotic treatment is based mainly on 2-dimensional radiographic studies from which the Cobb angle, Risser sign, pelvic obliquity and vertebral rotation are obtained. This is true de...
متن کاملEffectiveness and biomechanics of spinal orthoses in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
In this prospective study, the effectiveness and biomechanical factors of spinal orthoses in the treatment of moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients were investigated. In the first 20 months of orthotic treatment, the values of standing AP Cobb's angle, apical vertebral rotation, lumbar lordosis as well as thoracic kyphosis showed significant reduction (P<0.05), however, the an...
