ABSTRACT Objectives: Evaluate the surgical treatment of scoliotic curvature effects and sagittal radiographic parameters spine upper limbs after with direct vertebral rotation (DVR) associated type 1 osteotomy in adolescents idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Material Methods: 41 patients AIS were evaluated compared before surgery. Scoliosis was confirmed by a spine. The were: Cobb angles (proximal di...

Methods Study included 47 (7 male, 40 female) participants, 23 were using brace (mean age: 13.34±1.61) and 24 were doing 3DSchroth method exercises (mean age: 13.66±1.76) for treatment. In the brace group, mean Cobb angle was 38.30±10.70 (range:20-60), mean ATR was 12.60±5.41(range:3-25), in the exercise group mean Cobb angle was 32.16±11.62 (range:15-60), mean ATR was 8.45±4.04 (range:3-18). B...

Background Scoliosis is a 3-dimensional spinal deformity measured in two dimensions. [1] and is the leading orthopedic problem seen in school-aged children, affecting approximately 2-4% of children 10 to 16 years of age. First introduced in 1948, the Cobb angle is the current standard for measuring the severity of scoliosis. As stated by Gstoettner et al. in 2007, “It is an objective measure an...

Methods A cohort of 60 patients with a mean age of 12.6 years old (SD=0.8) and an average Cobb angle of 21.4 (SD=6.3) degrees were followed from their first visit till skeletal maturity defined as Risser 4 or above and greater than 1.5 years postmenarchal. Progressive curves were defined as a cumulative increase of 6 degrees or more in the Cobb angle, or the magnitude of any curve exceeding 45 ...

Methods Design: retrospective cohort study. Population: 351 AIS patients (306 females), age 10-15 years at first assessment (average 12.9±1.4), worst curve 35.6±11.4° Cobb, ATR 11±4.3°, median Risser 2, BMI 19.7±3. All subjects included were prescribed a brace treatment at first visit (initially 18-23 hours per day) accompanied by Scoliosis Physiotherapic Exercise according to the Scientific Ex...

Results 5 studies have been included (4 retrospective, one prospective), with a total of 416 patients, Cobb Angle range 25-40°, Risser 0-2, more than 10 years old, and less than 1 year post menarche at baseline. Pooling data, we had 40% of patients worsened >36° Cobb, including 27% with curves over 45°; 30% of patients were fused. Making subgroup analysis, we compared rigid braces managed accor...

Background: The aims of this study were to: (i) to analyze the morphometric characteristics cervical vertebral column in sagittal plane; and (ii) compare methods used for determinating lordosis angle. Materials Methods: Direct radiographs 175 adults analyzed angle was evaluated by Cobb (C2-C7), central angle, posterior tangent, Risser & Ferguson methods. In addition, occipitocervical (o...

Background The goals of Scoliosis Specific Schroth Physiotherapy (SSSPT) are to restore muscle balance, reshape the rib cage and reduce the rib hump to improve the esthetic of the patient, to increase the breathing areas and vital capacity, to reduce the Cobb angles, and to avoid spinal fusion surgery. Measuring the Cobb angles on P-A radiographs, assessing the sagittal profile on lateral radio...
