Coupling Effect of Axial Rotation and Lateral Deviation of Motion Segments in Idiopathic Scoliosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scoliosis is a complex three-dimensional deformity that is usually considered in the frontal plane without references to curvature in other planes. An important feature of idiopathic scoliosis deformity is the horizontal plane rotation (vertebral axial rotation). This rotation is thought to be significant for initiation and progression of idiopathic scoliosis (Adams W, 1865). Somerville's (1952) studies suggested that scoliotic spine exhibits lordosis as well as lateral curvature and horizontal rotations. Raof (1958) maintained that the deformities of idiopathic scoliosis could be explained on the basis of a primary rotation alone.

Defining the "Three-Dimensional Sagittal Plane" in Thoracic Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.
BACKGROUND Obtaining accurate measurements of scoliosis from two-dimensional (2-D) radiographs can be challenging because of the three-dimensional (3-D) nature of the deformity. Previous studies have shown that the sagittal plane, in particular, is misrepresented on 2-D radiographs because of the influence of axial plane rotation. The purpose of the current study was to define a methodology for...
متن کاملComputer simulation of idiopathic scoliosis initiated by local asymmetric growth force in a vertebral body
Scoliosis is defined as an appreciable lateral deviation with axial rotation in the normally straight vertical line of the spine. Idiopathic scoliosis is a deformity which develops during a period of rapid growth and reduces after skeletal maturity. As a biomechanical approach to scoliosis, this paper presents a computer simulation method to examine the hypothesis that local asymmetric growth i...

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the effect of Boston brace on trunk muscles length as well as lower limbs and trunk range of motion in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Methods: Five patients with idiopathic scoliosis with C shape curve and mean (SD) age, height, and weight of respectively 12.61(1.16) years, 1.53(0.08) m, and 35.6(6.1) kg participated in this study. Spatiotemporal para...
متن کاملThe association of lumbar curve magnitude and spinal range of motion in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND Spinal deformities affect the overall alignment of the spine and thus the vectors of loading on the lumbar region and intervertebral discs. Due to wedging of the disc or vertebrae of unbalanced spinal segments, alignment change may affect the range of motion (ROM) of individual spinal segments or the global spine. This is particularly important in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS...
متن کاملAnterior Overgrowth in Primary Curves, Compensatory Curves and Junctional Segments in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
INTRODUCTION Although much attention has been given to the global three-dimensional aspect of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), the accurate three-dimensional morphology of the primary and compensatory curves, as well as the intervening junctional segments, in the scoliotic spine has not been described before. METHODS A unique series of 77 AIS patients with high-resolution CT scans of th...
