The Efficacy of Night Bracing in the Treatment of Adolescent İdiopathic Scoliosis: A Systematic Review.

The effectiveness of night braces alone or in combination with other treatments for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis remains unclear. This systematic review study aimed to review and analyze the available literature to determine whether night braces are an effective treatment for idiopathic scoliosis. A total of 162 databases, including Cochrane Library (reviews, protocols, trials), Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, Scopus, PEDro, CINAHL (EBSCO), Ovid and Google Scholar, were searched for published articles from inception to February 2024.

The Immediate Effect of Hanging Exercise and Muscle Cylinder Exercise on the Angle of Trunk Rotation in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

(1) Background: Semi-hanging and muscle cylinder exercises have been defined as scoliosis-specific corrective exercises. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immediate effect of muscle cylinder and semi-hanging exercises on the angle of trunk rotation in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). (2) Methods: Twenty-seven patients with AIS with a mean age of 18.

Does Increased Femoral Anteversion Can Cause Hip Abductor Muscle Weakness?

Background: Increased femoral anteversion (IFA) causes functional problems (i.e., tripping, frequently falling, and fatigue) by affecting the pelvis and lower extremity biomechanics.

Translation, reliability and validity of the Turkish version of Scoliosis Japanese Questionnaire-27 in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Purpose: Disease-specific scales which evaluate QoL are needed to evaluate treatment outcomes, and to compare the effects of different treatments. The outcome measures evaluating quality of life in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis are limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Scoliosis Japanese Questionnaire-27 (SJ-27) in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

The Effectiveness of the Schroth Best Practice Program and Chêneau-Type Brace Treatment in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Long-Term Follow-Up Evaluation Results.

Background: Although the number of studies showing the efficacy of conservative treatment in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis has increased, studies with long-term follow-up are very limited. The aim of this study was to present the long-term effects of a conservative management method including exercise and brace in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with idiopathic scoliosis who presented at our department and were followed up for at least 2 years after completing the treatment.

Effects of Pilates exercises on idiopathic scoliosis: a scoping review of the literature.

Purpose: Scoliosis is a deformity involving changes in three planes. These changes include lateral curvature in the frontal plane, changes in physiological thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis angles in the sagittal plane, and rotation of the vertebrae in the transverse plane. The aim of this scoping review was to review and summarize the available literature to determine whether Pilates exercises are an effective treatment for scoliosis.

Adaptation, reliability, and validation of the Turkish version of the Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire-Deformity in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Background: There is a limited number of disease-specific outcome measurement scales in Turkish, which can be used for individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The aim of this study was to translate, adapt, and evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire-Deformity (TRv.BSSQD) questionnaire in Turkish patients with AIS.

The reliability of the augmented Lehnert-Schroth and Rigo classification in scoliosis management.

Background: In pattern-specific scoliosis exercises and bracing, the corrective treatment plan differs according to different curve patterns. There are a limited number of studies investigating the reliability of the commonly used classifications systems.

Objective: To test the reliability of the augmented Lehnert-Schroth (ALS) classification and the Rigo classification.

Does clinically measured ankle plantar flexor muscle strength or weakness correlate with walking performance in healthy individuals?

Objective: Muscle strength is usually measured using isometric hand-held dynamometers (HHDs) in the clinic. However, during functional activities, the muscle acts more dynamically. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between clinically measured plantar flexor (PF) muscle strength (PFMS) and laboratory measurements of peak ankle plantar flexion power generation (APFPG), peak ankle moment (PAM), peak plantar flexion velocity (PFV) and mean gait velocity in healthy participants.

Weakening iliopsoas muscle in healthy adults may induce stiff knee pattern.

Objective: The goal of the present study was to investigate the relationship between iliopsoas muscle group weakness and related hip joint velocity reduction and stiff-knee gait (SKG) during walking in healthy individuals.

Methods: A load of 5% of each individual's body weight was placed on non-dominant thigh of 15 neurologically intact, able-bodied participants (average age: 22.4 ± 0.

Plantar flexor muscle weakness may cause stiff-knee gait.

Aim: The iterative simulation studies proclaim that plantar flexor (PF) muscle weakness is one of the contributors of stiff knee gait (SKG), although, whether isolated PF weakness generates SKG has not been validated in able-bodied people or individuals with neuromuscular disorders. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of isolated PF muscle weakness on knee flexion velocity and SKG in healthy individuals.

Method: Twenty able-bodied young adults (23±3 years) participated in this study.

Scoliosis screening results of primary school students (11-15 years old group) in the west side of Istanbul.

[Purpose] The present study aimed to find out the scoliosis prevalence 11-15 years old children and to create awareness about scoliosis. [Subjects and Methods] All of the children were assessed using the Adams Forward Bendings Test and a scoliometer. Sagittal plane changes such as kyphosis, lordosis, hypokyphosis, hypolordosis and anterior head tilt were screened.

Contributors of stiff knee gait pattern for able bodies: Hip and knee velocity reduction and tiptoe gait.

Unlabelled: Stiff-knee gait (SKG) is commonly encountered in clinic; many other gait abnormalities are seen together with this pathology. Simulation studies revealed that diminished knee flexion (KF) velocity and increased knee extension moments are strongly related with SKG. This study aimed to determine whether tiptoe walking and hip-knee flexion velocity reduction causes SKG pattern in healthy participants.
