Benefits of Intensive Rehabilitation Programs Using Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Purpose Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) affects 3% of adolescents. Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis Specific Exercises (PSSE) are recommended to limit AIS progression, especially within intensive multidisciplinary programs. Our study evaluated the efficiency of these programs in AIS cases with a high progression risk.

Idiopathic adolescent scoliosis and obesity: prevalence study.

Purpose: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity that affects 5% of the population. This pathology has multiple known etiological factors such as family predisposition, female gender, low body mass index, decrease in lean and fat masses. However, recent studies suggest that ciliary dysfunction could be the origin of certain types of obesity and AIS.

Is self-image, in reference to the gravitational vertical, altered in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis? A multicenter, single-blind, case-control study.

Purpose: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is associated with perturbation of orthostatic postural control. In humans, orthostatic postural control is organized around the gravitational vertical (GV). Perception of the GV involves a bottom-up process (central integration of multisensorial information) and a top-down process that uses cognitive mechanisms relying on body image.

A perception bias of the gravitational vertical is confirmed in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Purpose: Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most frequent spine deformity in adolescence. The cause of AIS remains unknown. Several studies show that AIS can be associated with a perception bias of gravitational vertical.

Do Adolescents With Idiopathic Scoliosis Have an Erroneous Perception of the Gravitational Vertical?

Study Design: Multicenter, case-control study.

Objectives: Demonstrate altered perception of verticality in AIS compared with matched controls.

Summary Of Background Data: The cause of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains to be found.

Clinical balance tests, proprioceptive system and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Purpose: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of the spinal column of unknown etiology. Multiple factors could be involved, including neurosensory pathways and, potentially, an elective disorder of dynamic proprioception. The purpose of this study was to determine whether routine balance tests could be used to demonstrate an elective alteration of dynamic proprioception in AIS.

Cervicocephalic relocation test to evaluate cervical proprioception in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Purpose: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine associated with disturbed postural control. Cervical proprioception participates in controlling orthostatic posture via its influence on head stabilization. We hypothesized that patients with AIS exhibit altered cervical proprioception.

Usefulness of intra-articular botulinum toxin injections. A systematic review.

Unlabelled: Botulinum toxin is a proven and widely used treatment for numerous conditions characterized by excessive muscular contractions. Recent studies have assessed the analgesic effect of botulinum toxin in joint pain and started to unravel its mechanisms.

Literature-search-methodology: We searched the international literature via the Medline database using the term "intraarticular botulinum toxin injection" combined with any of the following terms: "knee", "ankle", "shoulder", "osteoarthritis", "adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder".

Evaluation of motion sickness susceptibility by motion sickness susceptibility questionnaire in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis: a case-control study.

Purpose: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine, with unknown origin. Some studies have noted impaired postural balance in AIS, in particular, difficulty to manage situations with sensory conflict. The motion sickness susceptibility can be secondary to a sensory conflict, for example, between visual and vestibular information.

Eye-hand laterality and right thoracic idiopathic scoliosis.

Purpose: The adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) pathogenesis remains unknown. Certain studies have shown that there is a correlation between manual laterality and scoliotic deviation. A full study of manual laterality needs to be paired with one for visual dominance.

Chronic neck pain and masticatory dysfunction.

Chronic nonspecific neck pain is a common problem in rheumatology and may resist conventional treatment. Pathophysiological links exist between the cervical spine and masticatory system. Occlusal disorders may cause neck pain and may respond to dental treatment.

The ability to change of three questionnaires for neck pain.

Objective: To assess the sensitivity to change of three algofunctional scales for neck pain.

Methods: Observational, prospective study. Patients with neck disorders were included.

French translation and validation of 3 functional disability scales for neck pain.

Objective: To translate and assess the reliability and the construct validity of 3 functional disability scales for neck pain.

Design: Reliability and validity study.

Setting: Tertiary care teaching hospital and outpatient clinic.
