Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine, which generally develops during childhood or adolescence. It affects 2–4 percent global population and more prevalent among girls. classified by its etiology: idiopathic, congenital, neuromuscular. Among these, former most common. Treatment options for scoliosis vary depending on severity curve. Most diagnoses tend to be mild only require monitor...

 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...

Abstract Introduction Idiopathic scoliosis, defined as a > 10° curvature of the spine in frontal plane, is one most common spinal deformities. Age, initial curve magnitude and other parameters define whether scoliotic deformity will progress or not. Still, their interactions amounts individual contribution are not fully elaborated were aim this systematic review. Methods A literature search ...

BACKGROUND Prospective data on health-related quality of life in patients with idiopathic scoliosis treated surgically as adults is needed. We compared preoperative and 1- and 2-year follow-up data in surgically treated adults with idiopathic scoliosis with juvenile or adolescent onset. Results were compared to untreated adults with scoliosis and population normative data. METHODS A compariso...

BACKGROUND The current consensus on idiopathic scoliosis maintains that it has a multifactorial etiology with genetic predisposing factors. AIM Estrogen receptor alpha gene has been considered as candidate gene of idiopathic scoliosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a case-control study of Bulgarian population samples (eighty patients with idiopathic scoliosis and one hundred-sixty healt...

28 A clear understanding of the pathogenesis of idiopathic scoliosis is essential to appreciating its clinical behavior. Although epidemiological surveys have shown an enormous number of children with minor coronal-plane deformities of the spine, only a relatively small number show evidence of progressive idiopathic scoliosis, which means that other factors must be superimposed to make a deform...

We investigated 21 pairs of twins for zygosity and idiopathic scoliosis. DNA fingerprinting confirmed that 13 pairs were monozygotic and eight were dizygotic. There was concordance for idiopathic scoliosis in 92.3% of monozygotic and 62.5% of dizygotic twins. Of the 12 pairs of monozygotic twins concordant for idiopathic scoliosis, six showed discordant curve patterns but eight had differences ...

[Purpose] To report the effects of consecutive application of stretching, Schroth, and strengthening exercises in an adult with idiopathic scoliosis. [Subject] A 26-year-old woman with idiopathic scoliosis, Cobb's angle of 20.51°, and back pain. [Methods] The exercise program consisted of 3 sessions: 10 minutes of stretching exercises, 20 minutes of Schroth exercises, and 10 minutes of strength...

Background Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is a deformity of the spine that occurs in up to 4% of children during childhood and adolescence. Idiopathic scoliosis is considered multifactorial, and family history may present several individuals affected. We still cannot determine which curves will worsen and at what rate, but some factors, such as age, growth potential and skeletal maturity have been a...

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the brace compliance and clinical background of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who demonstrate different degrees psychological brace-related stress.
