Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis [PDF]

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2015
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common form of structural spinal deformities that have a radiological lateral Cobb angle - a measure of spinal curvature - of ≥10(°). AIS affects between 1% and 4% of adolescents in the early stages of puberty and is more common in young women than in young men. The condition occurs in otherwise healthy

Beyond the Curve: The Muscle-Specific Asymmetries of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. [PDF]

JOR Spine
Asymmetries in paraspinal muscle volume, intramuscular fat, and fat‐free muscle, observed across 11 vertebral levels, were greater in Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliois (AIS) than in typically developing controls. Muscle asymmetries follow the shape of the scoliotic curve, typically with greater muscle volumes and intramuscular fat on the concave ...

Thoracolumbar Biomechanical Analysis of Lenke Type 1 Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Across Roussouly Classifications. [PDF]

JOR Spine
Finite element models of Lenke type 1 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were morphed into Roussouly sagittal types 1–4 and subjected to pure moment loading. The figure illustrates how sagittal morphology modulates thoracolumbar biomechanics, with Roussouly types 3–4 showing reduced range of motion and more favorable disc loading than types 1–2.

Idiopathic Scoliosis [PDF]

Deutsches Ärzteblatt international, 2010
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deviation of the spinal axis. The main diagnostic criterion is spinal curvature exceeding 10° on a plain anteroposterior X-ray image. Scoliosis is called idiopathic when no other underlying disease can be identified.Selective literature review and recommendations of the relevant medical societies in Germany and abroad ...

Salivary Progesterone Levels in Female Patients with a History of Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study

Clinics and Practice, 2022
Idiopathic scoliosis is a condition characterized by a three-dimensional curvature of the spine. However, in addition to the spinal curvature, it has also been reported that patients with idiopathic scoliosis can display other abnormal physiologic ...

Correlation between physical activity and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a systematic review

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Background The multifactorial aetiology of scoliosis is well known. Physical activity is considered both a treatment and causative factor for idiopathic scoliosis; however, evidence for a causal relationship between physical activity levels and ...

Experimental animal models of scoliosis for understanding the etiology of idiopathic scoliosis

Сибирский научный медицинский журнал, 2022
Idiopathic scoliosis is a common disease of the musculoskeletal system, affecting 2–3% of children and adolescents worldwide. The etiology and pathogenesis of scoliotic spinal deformity have not yet been disclosed, despite numerous long-term studies ...

Idiopathic scoliosis [PDF]

Turkish Neurosurgery, 2013
Scoliosis refers to curves exceeding 10 degrees observed through posterioanterior direct radiography. In fact, the diagnosis for idiopathic scoliosis is accepted to exclude already available causes. The aim of this paper was to review the etiopathogenesis, classification systems and the treatment management of idiopathic scoliosis.
