“…Performing scoliosis screening programs to exclude children with suspected scoliosis is very important. The studies on AIS prevalence have demonstrated that the number of patients who suffer pain vary from 27% to 59% [32]. In addition, it may be associated with other conditions such as restricted ventilation, respiratory muscle weakness, reduced quality of life [33], and even psychological problems [34].…”

Adolescent forms of idiopathic scoliosis are commonly encountered deformities of the thoracic and lumbar spine. They affect a significant number of adolescents, yet their cause is still unknown. The presented research is a cross-sectional analysis of 3933 volunteers (2131 girls and 1802 boys). The participants were primary school students aged 9 to 13 years old. This study determined a relationship between predictors such as: body mass, body height and body mass index (BMI) (independent variables) and angle of trunk rotation (ATR) value (dependent variable). Moreover, a stepwise multiple regression with backward selection was conducted to determine to what extent the dependent variable is explained by body mass, body height and BMI. In the group of 11,12,13-year-old girls, the analyzed results of multiple stepwise regression were statistically significant. Among the all studied predictors, it has been shown that body mass in the 11-year-old girls and body height in 12- and 13-year-old girls are major correlates of a 1-year ATR increase in proximal and main thoracic spine levels.

“…Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is one of the most common spine dysmorphism, which occurs in 1 to 4% of adolescent people with a prevalence in females who have a risk of curve progression 10 times higher than males [1][2][3][4][5]. Ginet Navarro said: "the attitude of a patient affected by adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is an attitude in front of life; the treatment of the irst will change the second one".…”

Background: Supporting our adolescent people in realizing his/her self ability to reorganize and to establish a cross-linked paraspinal muscle control can be considered the most effective approach for muscle rehabilitation in adolescents affected by "AIS. Aim of this study was to evaluate the SEMG activity of paraspinal erector muscles by using an innovative dynamic and asymmetric spine brace called "BRIXIA" in the conservative treatment of patients affected by adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods: Five patients affected by adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were recruited for the aim of this study in line with an informed consent and simple inclusion criteria. Each patient underwent a fi rst task-specifi c evaluation at time T0 and T1 and a secondary experimental course at time T2, T3 and T4. After a fi rst postural and total spine X-ray evaluation, recruited patients began to use our innovative spine brace called BRIXIA (time T0 and T1). During the second experimental phase, a SEMG bilateral activity of the trunk large rhomboid, the latissimus dorsi and the quadratus lumborum was investigated without spine brace, by using a common Chenêau brace and afterwards the dynamic BRIXIA spine brace, with the acquisition of the so-called RMS SEMG Ratio value. The SEMG measurements were acquired in six study conditions: a. SiRP=Sitting Resting Position; b. SiRCP=Sitting Recruiting Position with a so-called pneumothorax thrust; c. StRP = Standing Resting Position; d. StRCP = Standing Recruiting Position; e. BA = Anterior Trunk Bending; f. BARC = Anterior Trunk Recruiting Bending. At the end of this SEMG evaluation, each patient received (for a daily use around 18 hours per day) the fi nal version of the BRXIA spine brace and began an individualized educational postural rehabilitative treatment course (time T2). At time T3 and T4 a second and third SEMG assessment was made without using a spine brace and by using BRIXIA, with each patient evaluated in a resting condition and realizing a self-made crosslinked postural correction. Finally, a functional, radiographic and postural evaluation were made to defi ne and quantify an amelioration and modifi cation of patients' postural attitude at the end of a combined rehabilitative and device supported treatment. Findings: A comparative analysis of our SEMG data acquired in six study conditions showed different trends in all patients recruited proceeding from time T2 to time T5. Particularly, we observed at time T2 an homogeneous grade of paraxial muscle recruitment acquisition, expressed by the RMSsEMG ratio index, without using spine brace (53,3%) and by using Chêneau and BRIXIA brace (46,7%); specifi cally, a 57,14% of our patients used BRIXIA brace and a 42,86% Chêneau brace; the most homogeneous response was acquired in BA study condition; a symmetric paraxial

“…Additionally, one study recommended that different measures should be made to assess predisposing factors for youth back pain, such as scoliosis analysis. The authors recommend that different health professionals need to encourage people to perform several measures to manage back pain levels and prevent future adult back pain [10]. This pathology is frequently related with prolonged sitting postures, spine alignment, and abdominal muscle weakness [11,12].…”

The aim of this study was to compare the X-ray diagnosis with a non-invasive method for spine alignment assessment adopting a visual scan analysis with a plumb line and simetograph in middle-school students. The sample of this study was composed of 31 males and 50 females with an average age of 14.23 (± 3.11) years. The visual scan analysis was assessed at a school; whereas, the X-ray was performed in a hospital. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to assess the differences between methods and scoliosis classifications (non-accentuated <10º and scoliosis >10º), and the Kappa was used to assess the agreement between methods. The comparisons between the methods revealed non-significant differences (z = −0.577; p = 0.564), with almost perfect agreement between tests (K = 0.821; p < 0.001). Moreover, no statistical significance was observed between methods by the scoliosis classification (z = −1.000; p = 0.317), with almost perfect agreement between tests (K = 0.888; p < 0.001). This research supports the conclusion that there are no significant differences between the two methods. Therefore, it should be highlighted that this field test should be used by physical education teachers in their classes, or in a school context, in order to determine misalignments or scoliosis prevalence among middle-school students. Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2020, 17, x FOR PEER REVIEW 4 of 9 revealed an almost perfect agreement (K = 1.00, p < 0.001; please report to the statistical analysis 122 section) for both the alignment versus misalignment, and for the scoliosis degree visualization. 123 124 Figure 2.
