Correlation analysis between digital photography measurement of trunk deformity and self-image perception in patients with idiopathic scoliosis

چکیده
Introduction Trunk deformity in idiopathic scoliosis has been fully analyzed using different surface metrics but all of them are expensive and cannot be widely used. Recently it has been suggested that some measures of trunk deformity obtained in digital photography can be useful in the assessment of trunk deformity. Some asymmetry measures have been proposed but the relationship between these measures and patients’ self-image perception has not been established.

The Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS): a new tool to evaluate subjective impression of trunk deformity in patients with idiopathic scoliosis
BACKGROUND Outcome assessment in idiopathic scoliosis should probably include patients' perception of their trunk deformity in addition to self-image. This can be accomplished with the Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale (WRVAS). Nevertheless, this instrument has some shortcomings: the drawings are abstract and some figures do not relate to the corresponding radiological deformity. These consid...

BACKGROUND Evaluation of trunk deformity by physicians in patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) has been considered an important part of clinical practice. Different methods to quantify the severity of trunk deformity by external observation have been reported. A valid tool to evaluate patients' perception of trunk deformity, the Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS), is hereby validated f...

Methods It involved 59 adolescents, (50 girls, 9 boys), ages ranging between 10.0 and 17.0 years, all with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) with Cobb angle between 20-58 degrees. The adolescents were wearing the same kind of brace (Chêneau orthosis) for more than 6 months, for at least 16h per day. Three questionnaires were used: Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS), Bad Sobernheim Str...

Background The relationship between scoliosis magnitude, HRQL and Self Perception of Trunk Deformity is not clear. To better understand this, a data collection including age, main thoracic and lumbar or thoracolumbar Cob angle, Trunk Asymmetry Perception Scale TAPS, SRS-22 and current treatment was started involving all untreated and treated patients with idiopathic scoliosis attending a rehabi...

Background The Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS) is a valid instrument to assess self-perception of trunk deformity [1]. The SRS-22 has been widely used to measure Health Related Quality of Life in scoliosis population, but it is not clear which factors can influence its final score [2]. Children and parents can perceive trunk deformity differently, and discrepancy can be assessed with a...
