Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the physical changes in the trunk of adolescents who underwent surgery for scoliosis after a 2-year follow-up and compared these results to a previous 6-month follow-up.
- It involved 46 AIS patients, measuring various spinal and trunk deformities preoperatively, at 6 months, and 2 years post-surgery using x-rays and other assessment techniques.
- Results indicated effective spinal corrections over time, with significant improvements in trunk lateral shift for 76% of patients but limited changes in back surface rotation, suggesting some deformities may not fully resolve post-surgery.
Purpose: To present a novel set of Left-Right Trunk Asymmetry (LRTA) indices and use them to assess the postoperative appearance of the trunk in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients.
Methods: We hypothesize that LRTA measurements provide complementary information to existing trunk asymmetry indices when documenting the outcome of scoliosis surgery. Forty-nine AIS patients with thoracic curves who underwent posterior spinal fusion were included.
3D reconstruction of the human trunk for designing personalized braces : Precision study.
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc
July 2020
The customized design of braces for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) treatment requires the acquisition of the 3D external geometry of the patients' trunks. Three body scanning systems are available at CHU Sainte-Justine in Montreal: a fixed system of InSpeck Capturor II LF digitizers and two portable scanners, BodyScan and Structure Sensor. The aim of this study is to compare them by evaluating their accuracy and repeatability.

Objectives: To assess breast asymmetry (BA) directly with 3D surface imaging and to validate it using MRI values from a cohort of 30 patients with significant adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Also, to study the influence of posture (prone vs standing) on BA using the automated method on both modalities.
Evaluation of reducibility of trunk asymmetry in lateral bending.
Stud Health Technol Inform
September 2010
The value of the lateral bending test is important in the assessment of spinal curve mobility and prediction of surgical outcome in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). However, radiographic bending tests are unable to assess the reducibility of trunk asymmetry. This study aims to exploit surface topography measurement in order to evaluate the changes in shape of the trunk (a) between bending and neutral standing positions, and (b) between standing pre- and post-operative visits, in a cohort of adolescents with AIS having undergone surgical correction; and to correlate the differences measured in cases (a) and (b).
