Screening for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: an information statement by the scoliosis research society international task force
(2013-10-31)
Background: Routine screening of scoliosis is a controversial subject and screening efforts vary greatly around the world.
METHODS:
Consensus was sought among an international group of experts (seven spine surgeons and ...
Reliability of a quantitative clinical posture assessment tool among persons with idiopathic scoliosis
(Elsevier, 2012-03-01)
Objective
To determine overall, test–retest and inter-rater reliability of posture indices among persons with idiopathic scoliosis.
Design
A reliability study using two raters and two test sessions.
Setting
Tertiary ...
Validity of a Quantitative Clinical Measurement Tool of Trunk Posture in Idiopathic Scoliosis
(2010-09-01)
STUDY DESIGN:
Concurrent validity between postural indices obtained from digital photographs (two-dimensional [2D]), surface topography imaging (three-dimensional [3D]), and radiographs.
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the validity ...
Scoliosis Follow-Up Using Noninvasive Trunk Surface Acquisition
(2013-03-13)
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a musculoskeletal pathology. It is a complex spinal curvature in a 3-D space that also affects the appearance of the trunk. The clinical follow-up of AIS is decisive for its management. ...
Differences in Standing and Sitting Postures of Youth with Idiopathic Scoliosis from Quantitative Analysis of Digital Photographs
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-01-08)
The objective of this study was to explore whether differences in standing and sitting postures of youth with idiopathic scoliosis could be detected from quantitative analysis of digital photographs. Standing and sitting ...
Is Breast Asymmetry Present in Girls with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis?
(2014-09)
Study Design
Cross-sectional descriptive study.
Objectives
To characterize breast asymmetry (BA), as defined by breast volume difference, in girls with significant adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), using magnetic ...
Non invasive classification system of scoliosis curve types using least-squares support vector machines
(Elsevier, 2012-10-01)
Objective
To determine scoliosis curve types using non invasive surface acquisition, without prior knowledge from X-ray data.
Methods
Classification of scoliosis deformities according to curve type is used in the ...
Statistical model based 3D shape prediction of postoperative trunks for non-invasive scoliosis surgery planning
(Elsevier, 2014-05-01)
One of the major concerns of scoliosis patients undergoing surgical treatment is the aesthetic aspect of the surgery outcome. It would be useful to predict the postoperative appearance of the patient trunk in the course ...
A physically based trunk soft tissue modeling for scoliosis surgery planning systems
(Elsevier, 2015-03-01)
One of the major concerns of scoliotic patients undergoing spinal correction surgery is the trunk's external appearance after the surgery. This paper presents a novel incremental approach for simulating postoperative trunk ...
Modified Large Margin Nearest Neighbor Metric Learning for Regression
(IEEE, 2014-03)
The main objective of this letter is to formulate a new approach of learning a Mahalanobis distance metric for nearest neighbor regression from a training sample set. We propose a modified version of the large margin nearest ...
