Respiratory impairment and airway closure in patients with untreated idiopathic scoliosis

Health and function of patients with untreated idiopathic scoliosis.

CONTEXT Previous long-term studies of idiopathic scoliosis have included patients with other etiologies, leading to the erroneous conclusion that all types of idiopathic scoliosis inevitably end in disability. Late-onset idiopathic scoliosis (LIS) is a distinct entity with a unique natural history. OBJECTIVE To present the outcomes related to health and function in untreated patients with LIS...

Regional pulmonary ventilation and perfusion distribution in patients with untreated idiopathic scoliosis.

Regional lung function using xenon-133 was studied in 45 seated patients aged 11 to 78 years with untreated idiopathic scoliosis and angulation of curvature between 10 and 1900. Perfusion distribution was assessed by intravenous bolus injection of '33Xe and distribution of ventilation to volume ratios by washouts after inhalation and intravenous injection. No consistent differences between the ...

Comparison of Respiratory Muscle Electromyography between Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis and Healthy Subjects

Purpose: Scoliosis is one of the most common spinal deformities that affect chest wall mechanics. Scoliosis results in ventilator disorders and respiratory muscle weakness. However, the mechanism of these disorders is still unknown. The main objective of this study was to identify the intensity of respiratory muscles activity in patients with idiopathic scoliosis compare with healthy indi...
