Clinical methods for quantifying body segment posture: a literature review
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2011-07-30)
Purpose. Clinicians commonly assess posture in persons with musculoskeletal disorders and tend to do so subjectively. Evidence-based practice requires the use of valid, reliable and sensitive tools to monitor treatment ...
Personalized 3D reconstruction of the rib cage for clinical assessment of trunk deformities
(2013-11-01)
Scoliosis is a 3D deformity of the spine and rib cage. Extensive validation of 3D reconstruction methods of the spine from biplanar radiography has already been published. In this article, we propose a novel method to ...
Patient-specific anisotropic model of human trunk based on MR data
(2015-01-09)
There are many ways to generate geometrical models for numerical simulation, and most of them start with a segmentation step to extract the boundaries of the regions of interest. This paper presents an algorithm to generate ...
Noninvasive Clinical Assessment of Trunk Deformities Associated With Scoliosis
(2013-03-07)
Besides the spinal deformity, scoliosis modifies notably the general appearance of the trunk resulting in trunk rotation, imbalance, and asymmetries that constitutes patients' major concern. Existing classifications of ...
Multilevel Analysis of Trunk Surface Measurements for Noninvasive Assessment of Scoliosis Deformities
(2012-08-01)
Study Design. Reliability study.
Objectives. To assess between-acquisition reliability of new multilevel trunk cross sections measurements, in order to define what is a real change when comparing 2 trunk surface ...
Changes in Trunk Appearance After Scoliosis Spinal Surgery and Their Relation to Changes in Spinal Measurements
(2015-11-01)
Study Design
Retrospective study of surgical outcome.
Objectives
To evaluate quantitatively the changes in trunk surface deformities after scoliosis spinal surgery in Lenke 1A adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) ...
Non-invasive quantitative assessment of scoliosis spinal surgery outcome
(2013-03-29)
Improving the appearance of the trunk is an important goal of scoliosis surgical treatment, mainly in patients' eyes. Unfortunately, existing methods for assessing postoperative trunk appearance are rather subjective as ...
