Hip-related functional limitations in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis: a controlled trial.

Background: Since scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity, it causes some movement limitations in the spine and related joints. However, functional limitations associated with scoliosis-related hip joint involvement are the subject of research.

Aims: This study aims to investigate the physical characteristics and functional limitations associated with idiopathic scoliosis (IS), focusing on hip joint.

Impact of Spinal Surgery on Intrathecal Nusinersen Injections in Pediatric Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Background: Complex spinal deformities necessitate surgical interventions that may intervene with intrathecal injections in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). This study aimed to determine the effect of spinal deformity correction surgery on nusinersen administration.

Methods: Pediatric patients with SMA, operated by a single surgeon, either via magnetically controlled growing rod (MCGR) or definitive fusion (DF) with skip instrumentation, were evaluated retrospectively in terms of safety and feasibility of intrathecal injections.

A rare skeletal dysplasia in the etiology of severe scoliosis: Diaphanospondylodysostosis.

Diaphanospondylodysostosis is a rare genetic skeletal disorder caused by biallelic variants in the BMPER gene. The term, diaphanospondylodysostosis, includes ischiospinal dysotosis, which was previously known as a distinct entity with milder clinical features. The clinical phenotype of diaphanospondylodysostosis is quite variable with mortality in early postnatal life in some patients.

Comparison of gait and sagittal plane arm swing between individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and healthy individuals.

Arm swing and energy consumption play an important role in the realization of an effective gait. However, research on arm swing and energy consumption during gait in individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the spatiotemporal characteristics of gait, arm swing angles in the sagittal plane, energy consumption in individuals with AIS, to compare them with their healthy peers in this regard.

Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Kyphosis specific spinal appearance questionnaire in adolescents with moderate hyperkyphosis.

Background: Hyperkyphosis cause poor posture, self-image, clinical or cosmetic deformity and well-being. Therefore, it is important to evaluate patients' perception of appearance in the rehabilitation process of individuals with hyperkyphosis. Recently Kyphosis Specific Spinal Appearance Questionnaire (KSAQ) has been developed for the assessment of appearance in hyperkyphosis patients.
