Abstract:
Study design. Retrospective characterization of nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) in young adult female patients with and without lumbar scoliosis. Background. There is no consensus as to whether NSLBP in scoliosis patients is related to scoliosis per se or is just a normal symptom that could happen in anyone. Objectives. The aim of this study was to compare the differences in NSLBP between young adult female patients with and without lumbar scoliosis and to provide a theoretical basis for differential treatment of NSLBP in patients with and without lumbar scoliosis. Methods. Ninety female young adults with NSLBP were divided into scoliosis and nonscoliosis groups. Characteristics of pain, lumbar mobility, muscle strength, Cobb angle, axial trunk rotation (ATR) angle, and surface electromyography (SEMG) signal were compared between the two groups. Results. The pain location in scoliotic patients was more concentrated on the left side of the lumbar spine (P≤0.001). The area affected by pain (P=0.028) and the numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) scores (P=0.014) of scoliotic patients were less than those of nonscoliotic patients. The difference between side-bending in scoliotic patients was greater than that in nonscoliotic patients (P=0.001). Scoliotic patients exhibited a significantly better ability for flexion (P=0.001) and extension (P=0.017) than nonscoliotic patients. The posterior muscles in scoliotic patients were stronger than those in nonscoliotic patients (P=0.014). The ratio of root-mean-square (RMS) on paraspinal muscles in scoliotic patients was greater than that in nonscoliotic patients (P≤0.001). Scoliotic patients exhibited greater relaxation time during the flexion-relaxation phenomenon (FRP) than nonscoliotic patients (P=0.024). Conclusions. The characteristics of NSLBP experienced by patients with lumbar scoliosis were distinct from those of NSLBP experienced by nonscoliotic patients. The treatment of NSLBP in scoliotic patients should be different from that in nonscoliotic patients.

Abstract:
(1) Background: Scoliosis has the mechanical characteristic of asymmetric stress distribution, which is one of the reasons for the aggravation of scoliosis. Bracing therapy is the best treatment for AIS, but it is difficult and costly to operate. Is it possible to reduce pressure in the concave side by relaxing the ITL in the concave side of scoliosis, so as to improve the abnormal stress distribution of scoliosis? In this paper, a finite element method was used to simulate the effect of the relaxation of concave-side ITL on the stress of a lumbar spine with scoliosis, which provides some guidance for the treatment of scoliosis. (2) Methods: Using CT images of a patient with scoliosis whose Cobb Angle was 43° and Lordosis Angle was 45, a scoliosis lumbar was established, and Young’s modulus of the ITL of the concave-side lumbar spine was reduced by 95% to simulate ligament relaxation. By comparing the stress condition of the model vertebral body with no ligament relaxation, the effect of concave-side ITL relaxation on the mechanical characteristics of scoliosis lumbar spine was explored. (3) Results: An effective and complete model of the lumbar spine was established. The concave ITL relaxed, which only had a great impact on the bending loads. After the ligament was relaxed, the stability of the spine was reduced. Stress concentration on the concave side of vertebrae and the IVD was aggravated. Under loads on the convex side, the maximum stress on the vertebral body and the IVD increased significantly, making lumbar vertebrae more vulnerable to injury. (4) Conclusions: Laxity of the ITL on the concave side of the AIS lumbar only affects the bending load. Laxity of the concave-side ligament will reduce the stability of the lumbar, aggravate the uneven stress distribution of scoliotic lumbar vertebrae, increase the risk of IVD injury, and be unfavorable for the scoliotic lumbar spine. Relaxation of the concave ITL alone is not an effective way to treat scoliosis.

Abstract:
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis Lenke I dengan pola kurva mayor pada kurva thorakal (main thoracic), dengan kurva proximal thoracic dan thoracolumbar/lumbar sebagai kurva minor non struktural. Instrumentasi dan fusi hanya pada kurva thorakal dianjurkan. Pada literatur dijelaskan bahwa koreksi spontan kurva lumbal terjadi sebagai kompensasi untuk menyeimbangkan kurva thorakal setelah dilakukannya fusi thorakal selektif. Lumbal modifier dibagi menjadi 3 grup, pemilihan terapi operatif bergantung pada tipe lumbal modifier. Penelitian ini merupakan suatu analisis observational pada 35 pasien adolescent idiopathic scoliosis Lenke I paska operasi koreksi deformitas dan instrumentasi posterior. evaluasi menggunakan X ray sebelum dan setelah operasi untuk penentuan tipe lumbal modifier, besarnya koreksi kurva thorakal dan penilaian koreksi spontan kurva lumbal, kemudian dilakukan uji korelasi terhadap data yang didapat. Besarnya koreksi kurva thorakal terhadap koreksi spontan kurva lumbal paska operasi memiliki nilai signifikansi (Sig) = 0,000 < 0,05 dan besarnya koreksi kurva thorakal memiliki nilai koefisien regresi lebih besar bila dibandingkan dengan lumbal modifier terhadap koreksi spontan kurva lumbal paska operasi (variabel besar koreksi kurva thorakal (X1) = 0,764, Lumbal modifier (X2) = 0,092). Besarnya koreksi kurva thorakal berpengaruh signifikan terhadap koreksi spontan kurva lumbal paska operasi dan besarnya koreksi kurva thorakal yang paling dominan dalam mempengaruhi koreksi spontan kurva lumbal dibandingkan dengan lumbal modifier.Kata kunci : Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, Lumbal modifier, kurva thorakal Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis Lenke I, main thoracic curve pattern has the major curve, with the proximal thoracic and thoracolumbar/lumbar being non structural minor curves. Thus, instrumentation and fusion of the main thoracic region alone is recommended. In the literature it is said that the lumbar curve spontaneously corrects to balance the thoracic curve after selective thoracic fusion. Most authors assumed a mechanism whereby improvement of the lumbar curve occurred through counterbalancing the surgical correction of the thoracic curve. The lumbar curve divided in three subgroups: lumbar modifier A, B and C. The selection of specific operative treatments depends on this modifier. This study was an observational analysis in 35 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis Lenke I patients after correction and posterior instrumentation surgery. Evaluation using X-rays before and after surgery to determine the type of lumbar modifier, the magnitude of the main thoracic curve and assessment of spontaneous lumbar curve correction, then correlation test obtained. The magnitude of main thoracic curve correction to the spontaneous lumbar curve correction has a significance value (Sig) = 0.000 < 0.05 and the magnitude of main thoracic curve correction has a greater regression coefficient than the lumbar modifier for spontaneous lumbar curve correction (large correction variable thoracic curve (X1) = 0.764, Lumbal modifier (X2) = 0.092). The magnitude of main thoracic curve correction has a significant effect on the spontaneous lumbar curve correction and the magnitude of main thoracic curve correction is most dominant factor to influence spontaneous lumbar curve correction compared to the lumbar modifier.Keywords: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, Lumbar modifier, main thoracic

Abstract:
Some studies suggested that adolescent scoliotic dancers were more likely to sustain dance injuries than non-scoliotic dancers. This study aimed to investigate the association between scoliosis and dance injury among children and adolescent recreational dancers. Identical web-based and paper-based questionnaires were distributed to children and adolescent recreational dancers to collect demographic information, dance experiences, history and location of dance injuries, as well as the frequency of dance injury in the last 12 months. The prevalence rates of the top three dance injury sites (lower back, knee, and ankles) were estimated. Associations between the presence of scoliosis and various dance injuries in the last 12 months were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression. Data from 704 respondents (644 females, 13.3 ± 2.4 years) was analyzed. Ninety-one respondents (12.9%) reported scoliosis and 11 respondents (1.6%) were wearing scoliosis braces. The 12-month prevalence rates of lumbar, knee, and ankle injuries in scoliotic dancers (24.2%, 22.2%, and 28.5%, respectively) were significantly higher than those of non-scoliotic dancers (10.4%, 14.9%, and 14.8%, respectively). Scoliosis was an independent risk factor for lumbar spine injury (Odds ratio, OR = 2.7), knee injury (OR = 2.6), and multi-site dance-related injury (OR = 1.9). Given the observed strong associations between scoliosis and lumbar or knee dance injuries in the current study, future studies are warranted to investigate the underlying causes.

Abstract:
Abstract Purpose Pelvic morphology dictates the alignment and biomechanics of the spine. Recent observations in different types of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis indicate that individual pelvic morphology is related to the spinal levels in which scoliosis develops: primary lumbar adolescent scoliosis is associated with a higher pelvic incidence (PI) than thoracic scoliosis and non-scoliotic controls. We hypothesize that adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) of the lumbar spine follows the same mechanical principles and is associated with a high PI. Methods This study used an existing CT-scan database, 101 ADS patients were sex and age matched to 101 controls. The PI was measured by two observers with multi-planar reconstruction, perpendicular to the hip-axis according to a previously validated technique. Results The PI was 54.1° ± 10.8° in ADS patients and 47.7° ± 10.8° in non-scoliotic controls (p < 0.001). The median ADS curve apex was the disc L2-3 and median curve length was 4 vertebral levels. The mean supine Cobb angle was 21° ± 8° (ranged 10°–47°). There was no significant correlation between PI and the apex level (p = 0.883), the curve length (p = 0.418) or the Cobb angle (p = 0.518). Conclusions ADS normally develops de novo in the lumbar spine of patients with a higher PI than controls, similar to primary lumbar adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. This suggests a shared mechanical basis of both deformities. Pelvic morphology dictates spinal sagittal alignment, which determines the segments of the spine that are prone to develop scoliosis.

Abstract:
Objectives. To analyze the degenerative process in the lumbar spine in patients with and without scoliosis, in order to determine potential risk factors, which may be related to the development of de novo scoliosis. Material and Methods. In 121 adults (≥50 years), analyzed radiological parameters included: listhesis, wedging, and height of each lumbar vertebra, wedging and height of each disc, length of vertebral spurs, lumbar lordosis, lumbosacral, lumbo (L5) horizontal and sacro-horizontal angles, pelvic tilt on A-P X-ray, depth of L5 from the intercrest line, also – if present – pattern of curve, and level prsenting with the most obvious degenerative changes (MODC). Uni- and multi-variate statistical tests were used for analysis. Results. Degenerative changes were most obvious in the middle lumbar region. MODC at the L2 vertebra/L2–L3 disc and L4 vertebra/L4–L5 disc levels were more frequent in cases with scoliosis (p = 0.013; p = 0.022, respectively). Upon multivariate analysis the presence of scoliosis was closely related to the presence of lateral listhesis of L3, wedging of L3–L4disc, or pelvic tilt (p = 0.000; p = 0.000; p = 0.001, respectively). Cases with MODC at the L3–L4 disc level, or a more cranial apex of curve had a higher degree of scoliosis (p = 0.009; p = 0.017, respectively). Whereas, MODC at the L5–S1 level coexist with a low degree or no scoliosis (p = 0.009). Degenerative changes in the middle lumbar region, and pathologic conditions in the hip or lower extremities resulting in pelvic tilt, are frequent findings in cases with de novo scoliosis. Likewise, asymmetric degenerative changes at the L3–L4 disc level, and a more cranial apex of curve, were associated with an increased scoliotic curve. However, degenerative changes at the L5 vertebra/L5–S1 disc level carries lower risk in producing scoliosis. Conclusion. Degenerative changes in the lumbar spine are more intensive in its upper and middle parts, particularly at the level of L3 vertebral body and L3–L4 disc.

Abstract:
Background: The aim of the study was to analyse the correlation between body posture variables and postural stability in children with scoliosis and scoliotic posture.Methods: Spinal examination photogrammetry used the photometric Moiré method. Based on the angle size of the of spinal curvature, scoliotic posture was determined: 1-9°, and scoliosis: ≥10°. Postural reactions were tested using the Tecnobody ST 310 Plus Stability System platform. Children attended therapy at the Inter-school Centre of Corrective and Compensatory Gymnastics in Starachowice The study was conducted in June 2011. There were 21 children with scoliotic posture (7%) and 7 with scoliosis (25%). Results: In the canonical analysis of body posture variables, the highest share comprised of: trunk inclination angle, alpha angle, chest kyphosis angle, length of lumbar lordosis, length of lumbar lordosis/total spine length, shoulder asymmetry – right higher, shoulder asymmetry – left higher, absolute of pelvis tilt angle, coefficient of shoulder asymmetry relative to C7, primary curvature angle, length of secondary curvature/total spine length, depth of secondary curvature/total spine length. Significance: High values of canonical correlation coefficients, despite lack of significance, indicate the possibility of strong a correlation between body postural variables and postural stability that can be demonstrated with a greater sample size.

Abstract:
As the average American age increases, there is a need to study the spine biomechanics of adults with scoliosis. Most studies examining the mechanics of scoliosis have focused on in vitro testing or computer simulations, but in vivo testing of the mechanical response of a scoliotic spine has not yet been reported. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively define the passive stiffness properties of the in vivo scoliotic spine in three principle anatomical motions and identify differences relative to healthy controls. Scoliotic (n=14) and control (n=17) participants with no history of spondylolisthesis, spinal fracture, or spinal surgery participated in three different tests (torso lateral side bending, torso axial rotation, and torso flexion/extension) that isolated mobility to the in vivo lumbar spine. Scoliotic individuals with Cobb angles ranging 15-75 degrees were accepted. Applied torque was measured using a uni-directional load cell, and inertial measurement units (IMU) recorded angular displacement of the upper torso relative to the pelvis and lower extremities. Torque-rotational displacement data were fit using a double sigmoid function, resulting in excellent overall fit (R2 > 0.901). The neutral zone (NZ) width, or the range of motion where there is minimal internal resistance, was then calculated. Stiffnesses within the NZ and outside of the NZ were also calculated. Stiffness asymmetries were also computed within each trial. These parameters were statistically compared between factor of population and within factor of direction. There was an interaction effect between populations when comparing axial twist NZ width and lateral bend NZ width. The lateral bend NZ width magnitude was significantly smaller in scoliotic patients. NZ stiffness in the all three directions was greater in the scoliotic population. There was no significant difference in asymmetrical stiffness between populations. The present study is the first investigation to quantify the in vivo neutral zone and related mechanics of the scoliotic lumbar spine. Future research is needed to determine if the measured lumbar spine mechanical characteristics can help explain progression of scoliosis and complement scoliosis classification systems.

Most of the image examinations in degenerative lumbar scoliosis are focus on two-dimensional morphological analysis. They usually measure the scoliosis angle and provide descriptions of spinal inclination from X-ray images, or assessed spatial relationship between bone and soft tissues from CT or MRI sectional images. Most of outcomes of previous studies lacks of three-dimensional geometric information which cannot reveal the geometry of the neural foramen and nerve root. In this dissertation, analyses of neural foramen morphology in lumbar scoliosis are carried out by three-dimensional geometric evaluation techniques to improve traditional two-dimensional measurement method. Additional to morphological analysis in 3D regions of interest (ROI) such as neural foramen, neural roots, and its surrounding soft tissues, we also simulate and evaluate the variations of these ROI in cage placement. In clinical application, we present a degenerative lumbar scoliosis patient using our proposed 3D morphological analysis method. For every 1mm sectional image parallels to the optimal symmetry plane (OSP) of the subject vertebra, we calculate the area of the section plane of the neural foramen. The minimum area of the concave side of the scoliosis is less than the minimum area of the convex side. In terms of the nerve root sections, the minimum area of the concave side of the scoliosis is also less than the minimum area of the convex side. Patient symptoms sciatica lower back pain on both sides, though the neural foramen and nerve root of the concave side may be less than the convex side. This represents a possible clinical situation that the morphological changes of neural foramen may cause nerve compression. The simulation results of vertebral cage placement present the increase of cross-sectional areas of the concave side, nevertheless, volume of the neural foramen is also significantly increased by 30.45%. Meanwhile, neural foramen of the convex side is slightly increased by 4.29%. Cage placement simulation presents significant improvement on the pressure of the neural foramen in the concave side. In clinical, the pressure on the nerve may get relief.

Background：Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine and trunk that occurs in adolescents and the etiology of idiopathic scoliosis is still unclear. In all kinds of scoliosis, the idiopathic scoliosis was the most, accounting for 70%. Among them, AIS was the most common, accounting for 90% of idiopathic scoliosis. Majority of AIS are mild to moderate degree of scoliosis and occur more in female. Because the adolescents idiopathic scoliosis population are at the fast growing stage, they exhibit high risks of gradual deterioration in Cobb angle and axial rotation of the spine. At present, most of the studies suggest that the cause of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is multi-factors. AIS cases often revealed impairments in the musculoskeletal system, including the deformation of the spine, ribs and chest, uneven shoulder height, pelvic obliquity and asymmetry, and asymmetric compensatory posture. In addition, alternations in the length and tension of the muscles together with abnormal muscle activation and asymmetric performance on both sides of the spine are noted. There are problems such as postural malalignment, limited range of motion of the spine, asymmetric trunk flexibility, waist and back pain, and so on. In terms of the common neuromuscular system problems, AIS cases often exhibit larger or smaller postural sway amplitude, abnormal postural balance and muscle activation strategies, slow walking speed, impairments in limb proprioception and in the central processing and the integration of visual, proprioceptive, and vestibular afferent and efferent for movement control. According to the results of the above literatures, it is known that the overall motor control of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis has been affected but there is still a lack of literature to explore the local cervical, thoracic and lumbar motor control. In recent years, a lot of interventional studies have focused on motor control training of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, the results showed beneficial effects on in the Cobb angle, pain, flexibility, quality of life, the amplitude of postural sway and the deterioration of scoliosis progression. Therefore, understanding of the local cervical, thoracic and lumbar motor control performance in this population becomes very important. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the differences in local cervical, thoracic and lumbar motor control performance between adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and healthy adolescents. Method: This study was a cross-sectional study design and recruited 17 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis subjects and 20 healthy adolescent subjects. The researchers collected the basic information of each subject and then carried out the evaluation of the local cervical, thoracic and lumbar motor control test. The measuring instrument used in this study was the pressure biofeedback unit that was linked to a screen of displaying pressure value and to a personal laptop to record pressure data during the testing process. The local cervical, thoracic and lumbar motor control test was divided into the neck, chest and waist tests. Variables examined in this study included parameters of pressure value (the amount of deviation, the amplitude of fluctuation) and time (the percentage of time within the target pressure range, the time point of began to appear outside the target pressure range). Statistical analysis: The basic data of the subjects in this study were analyzed using descriptive statistics with Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables and Chi-square test for categorical variables. The differences in spinal movement control parameters between groups were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test. Statistically significant difference was set as alpha < 0.05. Result and discussion: The results showed that adolescent idiopathic scoliosis subjects had the significantly greater amount of deviation and the amplitude of fluctuation in pressure value than the healthy adolescents among the majority of local cervical, thoracic and lumbar motor control tests. Furthermore, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis subjects also revealed the lower percentage of time to maintain in the target pressure range and earlier to deviate from the target pressure range than the healthy adolescents among the majority of local cervical, thoracic and lumbar motor control tests. The results indicated that the ability to accurately control and maintain the local spinal movements in the appropriate range in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis subjects was poorer, both in the amplitude of force and timing control. These findings suggested impairments in the local trunk movement control pathway in AIS. Conclusion: Overall, when compared to healthy adolescent subjects, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis subjects' local cervical, thoracic and lumbar motor control performance were poorer. The results can be used as a reference for the clinical treatment planning for adolescents idiopathic scoliosis. Key words: adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, local cervical, thoracic and lumbar movement control

Background: Various congenital spinal anomalies are common findings in the general population. Their clinical significance is controversial with no definitive association been made between any specific congenital spinal anomaly to any clinical features. Project Design: This research study was designed in the form of a quantitative, non-experimental, empirical clinical survey. Method: Data was obtained from thoracic and lumbar spine radiographs contained in the Chiropractic Day Clinic at the Durban University of Technology from 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2005 and from the corresponding patient files. Through the research procedure, 519 thoracic and lumbar spine radiographs were located in the confines of the Chiropractic Day Clinic. Due to the exclusion criteria of a past or present history of trauma to the thoracic or lumbar spine areas, 147 radiographs were excluded. Objectives 1.To determine the period prevalence (1 January 1997 – 31 December 2005) of congenital thoracic and lumbar spine anomalies. 2.To determine if there is any association between the presenting clinical features and the congenital thoracic and lumbar spine anomalies in general. 3.To determine if there is any association between the presenting clinical features and individual congenital thoracic and lumbar spine anomalies. 4.To compare subjects presenting clinical features with reported clinical features from literature.

Abstract:
Whole body vibration (WBV) could increase the risk of spine disorders in human spine. Scoliosis is a disorder that results in abnormal three dimensional deformity of the human spine. Rigid fusion (RF) surgery is a common treatment for scoliosis subjects. Subjects with scoliosis have been proven to be more sensitive to WBV than healthy subjects. To date nobody has investigated the effect of WBV on post-surgical of scoliosis subjects although pre-surgical scoliosis subjects have been investigated. Finite element (FE) studies have provided important insights into the understanding of the functional biomechanics of the lumbar spine. The purpose of this study is to analyze the mechanical responses of the healthy, pre- and post-surgical scoliotic spines to vibration using FE methods. The FE models employed in this study were developed using extensively validated modeling methods. Vibration modal analysis was performed to obtain the first-order resonant frequencies in vertical direction in this study: 14.3 Hz in healthy subject, 3.9 Hz in pre-surgical scoliosis subject and 28 Hz in post-surgical scoliosis subject. A cyclic axial load of 40 N at 5 Hz was applied to all three FE models to represent the WBV in vehicle seats under normal driving condition. Intradiscal pressure (IDP) and disc bulge in the adjacent level (L1-L2) for the post-surgical scoliosis subject and healthy and pre-surgical scoliosis subjects were recorded. The IDP and disc bulge in post-surgical scoliosis model were larger than those in healthy and pre-surgical scoliosis subjects. To compare the effect of dynamic and static loads on the spine, static compressions of 360 N and 440 N were applied to the three models corresponding to the minimum and maximum magnitudes of dynamic loads. The differences in IDP and disc bulge under dynamic loads and corresponding static loads in the pre-surgical scoliosis subject was larger than those in both healthy and post-surgical scoliosis subjects. The pre-surgery scoliosis subject has the lowest resonant frequency which is lower than the resonant frequency of the healthy subject. RF surgery considerably increased the resonant frequency of scoliotic spine, which makes the resonance frequency higher in the post-surgery scoliosis subject than that for healthy subjects.

Abstract:
The curvature of the lumbar spine has been extensively studied, mostly in relation to scoliosis.1 Previous three-dimensional models of scoliosis allowed for the characterization of specific abnormalities in the sagittal, coronal and axial planes. Recent research has shown that these same spinal structure abnormalities (including facet joint orientation) may also be associated with spondylolisthesis,2 aging, and the onset of lower back pain, among other potential etiologies.3 Newer imaging technologies allow for more precise determination of the spinal curvature4 with all of these studies typically carried out in the neutral position (standing or supine). To the best of the author’s knowledge, there is no study of the behavior of the spinal curvature with axial torsion in vivo. We hypothesized that the spinal curvature when experiencing torsion will deviate significantly from the neutral position due to the complex coupled motions in the spine. The objective of this study is to characterize in vivo the change in lumbar segmental lordosis of the asymptomatic spine during torsion.

Abstract:
Knowledge of the movements of the whole spine and lumbosacral joint is important for evaluating clinical pathologic conditions that may potentially produce unstable situations in human body movements. At present there are few studies that report systematic three-dimensional (3D) movement and force analysis of the whole spine. In this paper, a fully discretized bio-fidelity 3D musculoskeletal simulation model for biomechanical (kinematic) analysis of scoliosis for a patient with right thoracolumbar scoliosis is presented. It is important to note that this method can be used for modeling various types of scoliosis. It should be noted that this is the first time that such a detailed model of this kind has been constructed according to known literature. The combined loading conditions acting on the intervertebral joints and corresponding angles between vertebrae were analyzed during lateral bending through the motion capturing and musculoskeletal modeling of two female subjects, one with normal spine and the other with scoliosis. The scoliosis subject who participated in this study has thoracolumbar scoliosis with convexity to the right. Since lateral bending is one of the typical tasks used by clinicians to determine the severity of scoliosis condition, the motion data of the subjects in lateral bending while standing was captured. These motion data were assigned to train the musculoskeletal multi-body models for the inverse and forward dynamics simulations. The mobility of the ribcage, joint angle, as well as joint force were analyzed using the developed simulation model. According to the results obtained the combined loadings at the lumbar joints in the scoliosis model are considerably higher than the loads of the normal model in this exercise. This research has investigated the effect of thoracolumbar scoliosis on spinal angles and joint forces in lateral bending by the application of motion data capturing and virtual musculoskeletal modeling. The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of human spine biomechanics and help future investigations on scoliosis to understand its development as well as improved treatment processes.

Abstract:
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most frequent deformity of the growing spine. Scoliosis predominantly affects girls during the adolescent growth spurt. Untreated deformities become social stigmas, are crippling and can compromise organ function. Therefore, uncontrollable progression of curvature and related complex deformities require operative treatment. Surgery is currently the only way to effectively decrease the angle of curvature. Unfortunately, operative methods are still based on principles introduced by Hibbs in 1911 — long, stiff bony fusion of a major portion of the thoracic and/or lumbar spine.

Abstract:
Spinal fusion technique is the common traditional surgical intervention for treatment of various spinal disorders. Long lumbosacral fixation is often recommended for adjustment of lumbar scoliosis [1]. However when extending a long fusion system down to the sacrum, the lumbosacral junction is a common site of implant problem and pseudarthrosis [2,3].

Abstract:
The load-displacement behavior of spinal motion segments is commonly determined from in-vitro experiments on cadaveric spines. However, clinically, it is often desirable to quantify the patient specific biomechanical properties of the spine in-vivo. Load-displacement measurement requires direct access to the appropriate anatomy, which is typically available in spinal surgeries that aim to correct lumbar spinal instability or scoliosis. We propose an approach to measure the spinal load-displacement behavior for use during these surgeries.

Abstract:
Mucopolysaccharidosis VII (MPS VII) is a rare pediatric, hereditary disorder characterized by deficient activity of beta-glucuronidase, an enzyme that degrades chondroitin, dermatan and heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) [1,2]. This deficiency leads to systemic lysosomal accumulation of GAGs, resulting in severely impaired physical and intellectual development, with patients frequently not surviving until adulthood. In the spine, the disease is characterized by poorly formed and aligned vertebral bodies, leading to high incidences of kyphosis and scoliosis [1–3].

Abstract:
Spinal fusion surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures used to alleviate lower back pain. It is estimated that between 200,000 and 300,000 spine fusion procedures performed each year in the United States [1]. There has been an increase of approximately 8% per year in the frequency of lumbar fusions in the United States since 1980 [2]. Spinal fusion is indicated for treatment of degenerative disk disease, degenerative joint disease, scoliosis, and isthmic and degenerative spondlylotisthesis when more conservative treatments have failed to achieve relief.

Abstract:
Most computational simulations of the human spine focus on one region of interest, often examining the lumbar or cervical spine alone. This allows for simplification the complex nature of the spine and reduction of computational costs. As computational power is increasing, we can begin to examine more of the spine simultaneously without overusing resources. In addition, while current spine simulations provide valuable information regarding local effects of spinal problems, such as scoliosis or intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration [1], they do not evaluate how these injuries affect the spine as a whole. Understanding the motion implications of spine pathologies on the whole spine can influence medical treatment practices in the future.
