Gait analysis in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis walking with Boston brace
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) can affect spine mobility and gait mechanisms. In some of the related science research it is showed that the kinematic differences in the spine, pelvis and lower limb may contribute to the causation and progression of idiopathic scoliosis. Various treatment methods have being used for scoliosis, however using brace is a commonly used method in this regard. Nowadays little is known about the effects of bracing on gait biomechanics in scoliotic patients. The aim of this investigation was to identify the immediate effects of bracing on improvement of asymmetries in lower limb kinematics and pelvic and back movements during level walking in scoliotic subject.

The Effect of Boston Brace on Muscle Length of Patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis
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 کاملEffect of the Boston Brace on Standing Balance in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
There is evidence that traditional timedomain measures are not sensitive to the changing dynamic properties of the postural control system [1]. Frequency domain measures such as the spectral characteristics associated with sway may be more effective in detecting important but not easily identifiable changes in the physiological control systems underlying balance [1]. Frequency domain analysis h...
متن کاملFirst results of the Maastricht brace in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Background The Maastricht brace (M-brace) was developed to improve compliance and associated efficacy of brace treatment in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Initial pressure measurements in the M-brace revealed a higher corrective pressure as compared to the Boston brace, and a better patient reported quality of life, as measured with the SRS 22 and Brace questionnaire. We present the fir...

Background Idiopathic scoliosis induces change in coordination between body segments, spinal anatomy, left-right trunk symmetry and gait pattern. Various treatment methods have being used for scoliosis which includes: physical therapy, occupational therapy, osteopathic therapy, casting, bracing and surgery. However, using brace is a commonly used method in this regard. Although, the influence o...

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...
