Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
To date, there is no objective assessment method for the quality of the self-correction performed by patients with scoliosis. The study consists of two parts, both retrospective, and distinct on the basis of the tools used to assess self-correction. Part 1: Retrospective assessment of the radiographic variations between spontaneous position and self-correction in subjects suffering from juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Both measurements were performed in a single session. Part 2: Retrospective assessment of the variations between spontaneous and self-correcting position in subjects with juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis using objective parameters deriving from non-invasive 3D ultrasound instrumentation (Scolioscan, Telefeld, Hong Kong).
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria for both parts: * Diagnosis of juvenile or adolescent idiopathic scoliosis; * Age \>= 10 years; * Single and double curves with amplitude \>= 15 ° Cobb; * Performing exercises according to SEAS for at least 6 months Only for part 1 (radiographic) * Availability of radiographic investigation in upright position and in self-correction Only for part 2 (ultrasound) * Availability of ultrasound assessment in upright position and in self-correction * Complete radiograph of the spine in anteroposterior projection performed in the 45 days preceding or following the medical examination. * Risser between 0 and 2. Exclusion Criteria: For both parts: * Patients with more than 2 scoliotic curves * Patients with secondary scoliosis * Patients suffering from learning disabilities or clinical conditions impairing neuromotor control * Patients lacking the necessary measures to evaluate the outcome. Part 2 only (ultrasound) ● Patients undergoing brace treatment
