BACKGROUND Patients with neuromuscular disorders often have an increased risk of pneumonia and decreased lung function, which may further be compromised by scoliosis. Scoliosis surgery may improve pulmonary function in otherwise healthy patients, but no study has evaluated its effect on the risk of pneumonia in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS). METHODS The patient charts of 42 pati...

In this paper, we take physical and health integration as the entry point. Firstly, based on transformation mechanism of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis construct a time delay differential model. Moreover, using theory characteristic equation discuss stability positive equilibrium under delays τ=0 τ≠0. Furthermore, through numerical simulation, it has been verified delay, τ, exceeds critical va...

Background For most scoliosis cases, the etiology is uncertain. It’s possible, however, that a certain number of idiopathic scoliosis cases could be classified by known vertebral spine pathologies. It’s been described in the literature that idiopathic scoliosis is related to dorsal hypokyphosis, but the existence of scoliosis in which this doesn’t happen has been proved. Scheuermann’s (SCH) dis...

[Purpose] This study was performed to confirm physical therapy scoliosis specific exercises on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients. [Subject and Methods] A 15-year-old male middle school student with scoliosis. Cobb's angle, angle of rotation of the spine, and breathing pattern were measured before and after 8 weeks training. [Results] After 8 weeks training, Cobb's angle, angle of rotatio...

Abstract Diagnosis of a disease needs early estimation of the important factors relating to it. X-ray are generally used for the diagnosis. Scoliosis is a medical deformity related to the spine. It may occur only in the thoriac area or lumber, but in most of the cases in thoracolumbar area is affected from scoliosis. Treatment of scoliosis must be done in its initial stage. The treatment method...

Background. The aim of our study was to assess the course and outcome in scoliosis without spondylodesis in the lumbar spine after surgical correction performed in the thoracic segment with the C-D method in patients with King's type II scoliosis (Lenke's IB, IC). Material and methods. 42 patients with idiopathic scoliosis were operated in the thoracic spine. The Cobb's angle averaged 635 +/- 9...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Scoliosis is more common in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) than in the general elderly population. We compared clinical characteristics between PD patients with and without scoliosis, to identify the relationship between the direction of scoliosis and the laterality of the dominant symptoms of PD. We also studied the associations between dopaminergic pharmacothera...

Significant prevalence rates of adolescent scoliosis in China were suggested in previous studies. However, school screenings for adolescent scoliosis have been suspended due to low rates of positive detection under the past screening system in China. The present study was undertaken to screen for adolescent scoliosis in middle school students under a modern assessment system in a district of Sh...

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common form of scoliosis, affecting approximately 2% to 4% of adolescents. The incidence of scoliosis is about the same in males and females; however, females have up to a 10-fold greater risk of curve progression. Although most youths with scoliosis will not develop clinical symptoms, scoliosis can progress to rib deformity and respiratory compromise...
