The article describes the biomechanical aetiology of the so-called idiopathic scoliosis (1995 – 2007), known as an adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The first lecture dealing with the issue was delivered in Hungary in 1995. The first publication was made in Germany in 1996 (Orthopadische Praxis). Biomechanical development of scoliosis. The scoliosis appears as the secondary deformity originating in the asymmetry of hips’ position and movement described by Prof. Hans Mau in articles about Syndrome of Contractures (Fig. 1, 2a, 2b, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c). Next - while walking and while standing ‘at ease’ on the right leg (T. Karski). The research proves that the right leg is the preferred one over the years for standing. This phenomenon is because of better stability of right leg in region of right hip during standing and this is because of smaller adduction in straight position of joint. Every type of scoliosis starts to develop at the time when the child starts to stand and walk. Depend...
(i) Clinical assessment of scoliosis
Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2011
Scoliosis is a common paediatric and increasingly common adult problem. Clinical and radiological assessment is the first step in the management. This article outlines how to perform a thorough history and examination of a patient with scoliosis drawing out the differentiating features of idiopathic scoliosis from other varieties such as congenital, neuromuscular, syndromic and adult scoliosis.

Thirty-three structural curves of 25 patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were evaluated using computed tomography (CT) scans and plain radiography. The average Cobb angle on standing radiographs was 55.72°and was observed to be corrected spontaneously to 39.42°while the patients were in supine position (29.78% correction). Average apical rotation according to Perdriolle was 22.75°on standing radiographs and 16.78°on supine scanograms. The average rotation according to Aaro and Dahlborn on CT scans was 16.48°. Radiographic measurements were significantly different from axial CT slice or scanogram measurements (p ס 0.000), but the two latter measurements, both obtained in the supine position, did not appear to be different (p ס 0.495). Deformities on the transverse plane as well as on the coronal plane are influenced by patient positioning. If the patient lies supine, the scoliosis curve corrects spontaneously to some degree on both planes. Measurements obtained from the scanograms by the Perdriolle method in the supine position are very similar to those obtained by CT. Perdriolle's is a simple, convenient, and reliable method to measure rotation on standing radiograms.

ABSTRACT The normal spine has a straight profile when seen from behind. Scoliosis occurs when this profile is deformed by a curvature which may appear in one or more segments. This curvature is associated with rotation and wedging of the vertebrae. Outwardly, in addition to the curve there may be prominence of the thorax or lop-sidedness of the shoulders or pelvis. The majority of cases present in adolescent females with no obvious cause. Spinal deformity presenting in younger children is much more likely to have an identifiable cause. Because of the risk of progression and the consequences these curves need to be monitored and treated if necessary. These treatments and indications are discussed along with the different types of scoliosis.
(ii) Scoliosis in children and teenagers
Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2011
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine whose cardinal feature is a curve in the coronal plane with a Cobb angle that exceeds 10 . In the growing spine and the degenerative spine scoliosis will evolve over time; the fourth dimension. This article discusses the possible causes of scoliosis in the paediatric population. The aim is to provide the reader with a basic understanding of spinal growth, the natural history of scoliotic spinal deformity and outline the options for treatment.

(1) Background: Idiopathic scoliosis is a deformity of the growing spine. It affects 2-3% of adolescents; yet its cause is still unknown. At the early stage of idiopathic scoliosis (IS), the signs are not very noticeable. That is why the primarily school-based screening for scoliosis is so important. (2) Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis of 6850 respondents. Participants were elementary school students in the metropolitan area of Poland. The suspicion of IS was based on detection of three-dimensional deformity of the spine using scoliometer. (3) Results: Respondents were divided into two groups: Angle of trunk rotation (ATR) = 0-3

Objective: This study was conducted to compare the normal range of motion of the shoulder and elbow in the upper extremity, hip and knee in the lower extremity of patients with a diagnosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with their healthy peers. Method: Socio-demographic and physical characteristics of all individuals participating in the study were recorded. Only subjects with Lenke type 1 curve were included in the study and all included subjects had right thoracic curves. The hip, knee, shoulder and elbow flexion and extension normal range of motion of the participants were evaluated using a universal goniometer. Results: A total of 56 adolescents, 20 girls and 8 boys in the AIS group, and 20 girls and 8 boys in the control group, participated in the study. The thoracic curve of the group with scoliosis was calculated as 19.61±4.16. Among the cases included in the study, the mean age of the AIS group was calculated as 14.2±1.26 years, and the mean age of the control group as 13.84±0.62 years. When we look at the findings, it was seen that the shoulder, hip and knee flexion normal range of motion values of children with right thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were statistically lower than the flexion normal range of motion values of healthy children. (p<0.05) Conclusion: According to the findings of the study, the decrease in flexion and normal joint range of motion in the extremities should also be considered in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
The postural stability control and gait pattern of idiopathic scoliosis adolescents
Clinical Biomechanics, 1998
Objective. The static postural equilibrium and gait patterns between idiopathic scoliotic (IS) patients and normal subjects were studied to verify the best method to identify the functional disability in IS patients. Design. The static stability in six postures and gait patterns among normal subjects and IS patients were compared. Background.

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that imbalance in patients with a severe deformity of the spine is associated with an increase in the sensory integration disorder. This paper is a case comparison study. Patients were divided into three groups: able-bodied (n = 53), observation (n = 23), and pre-brace (n = 26) groups. Time domain parameters (sway area, position and displacement) and structural posturographic parameters [mean distance (MD) and mean peak (MP)] were calculated from the COP excursion using a force platform. A sensory integration disorder could be an important factor in the progression of the scoliotic curve. Significant differences were found in time domain between observation, pre-brace and able-bodied groups. The results for the structural posturographic parameters showed significant differences between the pre-brace and the able-bodied groups (P = 0.018 MD and P = 0.02 MP) demonstrating a perturbation in sensory integration system by an increase of imbalance. The absence of statistical difference between the observation and the pre-brace groups for the structural posturographic parameters indicates a perturbation of sensory integration system associated with curve progression. Our study has demonstrated that the pre-brace group is less stable than the able-bodied group. The severity of scoliosis in pre-brace scoliotic girls could be related to an increase in the sensory integration disorder.
