INTRODUCTION:

SCOLIOSIS

3-dimensional deformity of thespine affecting all the 3 planes.

Can be difficult to visualize with

2-dimensional radiographs

Scoliosis is a lateral deviation of the normal vertical line of the

spine which, when measured byan X-ray, is greater than 10degrees accompanied by vertebralrotation.

SIGNS OF SCOLIOSIS

Shoulders are different heightsHead is not centered directlyabove the pelvisAppearance of a raised,

prominent hipRib cages are at differentheightsUneven waistChanges in look or texture of skin overlying the spine(dimples, hairy patches, color changes)Leaning of entire body to oneside

PROBLEMS WITH BRACES

Argued efficacy

Narrow treatment window to initiate

Poor compliance

Must have good orthotistCurves corrected by 20 degrees in brace do better

SURGERY

Indications:

1. Major curvatures (>45 degrees)

2. Rapid deterioration/progression


18/34

GOAL OF SURGERY

To produce safe maximal correction with

anterior / posterior instrumentation /reconstruction

To restore good frontal and sagittal balance

ADVANTAGES:

Easy monitorable of the treatmentDue to feedback actions can be controlledHigh accuracyPortable

DISADVANTAGES:

High cost An attender should be present near the patient


30/34

Applications:

To any type of deformity it can be applied.

Helps in reducing dislocations

Wearable computers , now can be used

everywhere i.e., from medicinal appliances tohome appliances

CONCLUSION:

An accurate, portable, posture monitor has beendesigned to monitor and record scoliotic progressand by providing feedback has led to new therapeutictreatment for scoliosis.

More research is being done to make it as a totallyclosed system and will definitely be a cure to scoliosiswhich is a dangerous deformity.
