Background: Although multiple studies have investigated risk factors for symptomatic adjacent segment disease (ASD) after lumbar fusion, their findings were diverse and inconsistent. This review aimed to summarize ASD in order guide the management of future research. Methods: Six electronic databases systematically searched from inception December 2019. Two reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts, full-text articles identify investigating fusion humans. The methodological quality...
Abstract Background Surgical intervention is the ultimate treatment for scoliosis, but iatrogenic spinal cord injury one of major concerns. Although intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring can aid in detecting and reducing postoperative neurological complications, its use still controversial. Methods A retrospective chart review 6,577 scoliotic patients who underwent surgery curve correction with a reported complication was conducted. Our dataset sourced from morbidity mortality...
Abstract Background Back pain occurs commonly in adults and is multifactorial nature. This study aimed to assess the prevalence intensity of back during young adulthood subjects with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), as well factors that may be associated its prognosis. Methods Subjects AIS aged 20–39 treated conservatively were included this study. Patient-reported outcome measures involved episodes pain, scales self-image, depression, anxiety, stress. Additionally, mental health...
Some studies suggested that adolescent scoliotic dancers were more likely to sustain dance injuries than non-scoliotic dancers. This study aimed investigate the association between scoliosis and injury among children recreational Identical web-based paper-based questionnaires distributed collect demographic information, experiences, history location of injuries, as well frequency in last 12 months. The prevalence rates top three sites (lower back, knee, ankles) estimated. Associations...
Abstract Purpose Although it is evident that some patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) have proprioceptive deficit in peripheral joints, knowledge on the function of deformed spine limited. Nonetheless, spinal proprioception AIS may be affected three-dimensionally, prior studies only focussed evaluating single plane. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a novel assessment using three-dimensional motion analysis AIS. Methods Participants were included if they had primary...
Abstract Background Although back pain may be present in subjects with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), its natural history is unknown. Therefore, this study evaluated the incidence of scoliotic adolescents longitudinally. Methods This retrospective analysis examined prospectively collected subscale data Scoliosis Research Society questionnaire between initial presentation and up to 3 years follow-up. Consecutive AIS aged 10–18 at baseline managed by observation within period were...
The prognosis of surgically treated subjects with early onset scoliosis (EOS) into adulthood has been lacking. We aimed to investigate the patients' perspectives on satisfaction surgical treatment.
Establishing normative values and understanding how proprioception varies among body parts is crucial. However, the variability across individuals, especially adolescents, makes it difficult to establish norms. This prevents further investigation into classifying patients with abnormal proprioception. Therefore, primary objective was address knowledge gap using three-dimensional motion analysis capture position sense in adolescents young adults. The secondary evaluate relationship between...
