Comparison of Trunk Motion between Moderate AIS and Healthy Children.

Analysis of kinematic and postural data of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients seems relevant for a better understanding of biomechanical aspects involved in AIS and its etiopathogenesis. The present project aimed at investigating kinematic differences and asymmetries in early AIS in a static task and in uniplanar trunk movements (rotations, lateral bending, and forward bending). Trunk kinematics and posture were assessed using a 3D motion analysis system and a force plate.

Overweight and obesity by school socioeconomic composition and adolescent socioeconomic status: a school-based study.

Background: The main objective of this study was to investigate the interaction effect of school socioeconomic composition (SEC) and adolescent socioeconomic status (SES) in the prevalence of overweight and obesity among a representative sample of French adolescents of the third most populous département of France.

Methods: 1038 adolescents agreed to participate (response rate: 91.4%).

Functional impact of osteosuture in medial bilateral clavicular physeal fracture in teenagers.

Introduction: Proximal physeal fracture of the medial clavicular physis is a rare specific injury occurring in the immature skeletal. Several studies describe unilateral cases with posterior or anterior displacement and the following complications (vascular and mediastinal compression). An immediate diagnosis and management are necessary to avoid complications.

Modification of knee flexion during walking with use of a real-time personalized avatar.

Visual feedback is used in different research areas, including clinical science and neuroscience. In this study, we investigated the influence of the visualization of a real-time personalized avatar on gait parameters, focusing on knee flexion during the swing phase. We also studied the impact of the modification of avatar's knee amplitude on kinematic of the knee of healthy subjects.
