Biomechanical Modelling of Electrical Stimulation in the Correction of Scoliosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
One method of assessing the potential efficacy of various clinical treatments is the use of computational modelling. Previous modelling studies have indicated that ideal muscle activation patterns could produce a better immediate corrective pattern than bracing . This would suggest that there is great potential in electrical stimulation, but compared with bracing, and with a general lack of clinical evidence to support the use of stimulation, this method of treatment has received little attention in recent years. With advances in modelling, and the development of implantable electrodes, perhaps it is now time to revisit the area of electrical stimulation in scoliosis correction in order to identify and demonstrate its full potential.

Abstract Background: Patient satisfaction with the cosmetic result of spinal fusion surgery was studied in 40 cases of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Neutral or dissatisfied patients were compared with satisfied patients in several physical and psychological characteristics. The aim of the study was to determine whether adolescents generally report satisfaction with the postoperative appeara...

Background: Congenital scoliosis is a developmental disorder defined as a lateral curvature of the spine. Its progressive trend and complications, such as cosmetic problems, pain and pulmonary symptoms, have put scoliosis as an important skeletal deformity that should be corrected. One of the currently accepted methods of treatment is posterior spinal fusion (PSF) that may be performed with or ...

Auditory Electrical Stimulation for Tinnitus Suppression Tinnitus is the conscious experience of sound which arises in the head of its owner, but without a voluntary origin obvious to that person. About 10-15% of all adults report prolonged spontaneous tinnitus (PST). There are a lot of methods for suppressing this complaint. One of these methods is electrical stimulation. Electrical stimu...

Introduction: The idiopathic scoliosis is a spinal deformity developed in three-dimensions that if untreated, can worsened to back pain, impaired vital capacity and psychosocial disturbances. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of a course of corrective exercises on postural and biomechanical parameters in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Materials and Methods: 25 patient...
