“…Although it is considered an asymptomatic pathology, recent studies have increasingly shown that the complaint of back pain is more frequent in scoliosis sufferers when compared to adolescents without scoliosis. 7,13,26,27 Dantas et al 13 found 63.7% of back pain in their study in Pernambuco. Teles et al 27 demonstrated that 85.8% of patients have some degree of back pain and proved a statistical association between hypokyphosis and pain, concluding that pain in AIS is related to psychological factors and morphological factors of scoliosis.…”

“…4,[8][9][10][11][12] In Brazil, studies on the epidemiology of scoliosis are rare, and no population screening policy exists. 6,13,14 Therefore, the goal of this study is to evaluate the profile of scoliosis patients seen at our referral center and the main barriers encountered in the treatment of scoliosis to in the future create and implement ways to facilitate access to treatment for these adolescents.…”

Objective: Evaluation of the profile of the population with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) treated at a center specializing in spine surgery in Curitiba-PR. Methods: Prospective multicenter study, being analyzed, at the moment, only data from the center in question. All patients referred from the basic health service for evaluation of deformity underwent panoramic radiography of the total spine to evaluate the curvature using the Cobb method, evaluation of skeletal maturity using the Risser classification, and the classification of scoliosis using the Lenke classification. Clinical photographs of all patients and an assessment of the quality of life using the SRS-30 questionnaire were also taken. Results: Thirty patients with scoliosis and a mean age of 14.63 ± 3 years were evaluated. Prevalence of female:male 1.5:1. Patients had a mean Cobb of 45.96°, and most were close to Risser 4 skeletal maturity (48.3%). 60% had a thoracic curve (Lenke 1), and 13.3% had a double curve (Lenke 3 or 6). 63.3% of cases had a delay in medical care, taking an average of 18 months between referral and consultation with a specialist. 60% of patients were referred for surgical treatment after the first appointment. Conclusion: The population sample of this center follows the literature. A Cobb >40° in the first consultation with a specialist and a high referral rate to surgery suggest the failure of early diagnosis and the need for public policies for better knowledge and assistance for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

“…Another characteristic cited is the higher prevalence of back pain in patients with scoliosis. 14 Some authors advocate that pain in the back region increases after the age of 13, and this is attributed to pubertal spurt and increased paravertebral muscle tension due to more time at school. 15 In the present study, patients with curves of less than 50° had a higher score in the pain category of the SRS, reflecting lower pain intensity in this group; however, the difference in relation to the group with the highest angular value was not significant (p 0.16).…”

Objective: The present study aims to outline the epidemiological parameters of patients with scoliosis between the ages of 0 and 18 years old, who were evaluated at the Getúlio Vargas Hospital in Recife-PE. Methods: The participants completed a demographic questionnaire, followed by clinical evaluation, including Cobb angle measurement, clinical photographic registration and quality of life questionnaires. Results: The sample consisted of 103 patients, mostly females, with a mean age of 13.86 years, from the interior of the state, diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis classified as Lenke 1. Neuromuscular and congenital scoliosis were less common. The quality-of-life questionnaire showed a significant difference in self-image perception among patients with idiopathic scoliosis, those who had a curve measuring under 50 degrees had better scores than those who had greater angles. Patients with larger curves scored lower on all questionnaire items, but there was no significant difference when compared to the other group. Conclusion: It was shown that the main epidemiological parameters in the pediatric population with scoliosis are girls, mean age 13 years, coming from the interior of the state being idiopathic scoliosis, the most common, classified as Lenke 1. Neuromuscular scoliosis was the main type of deformity following the idiopathic; cerebral palsy being the most common etiology.

Resumo Objetivos Analisar a força dos membros inferiores em pacientes com escoliose idiopática do adolescente (EIA) submetidos ou não ao tratamento cirúrgico e examinar sua correlação com a distância percorrida em um teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6). Métodos Um total de 88 participantes (n = 30 pacientes com EIA pré-operatório, n = 30 pacientes com EIA pós-operatório e n = 28 controles) foram submetidos ao 6MWT e à avaliação da força muscular. A força dos membros inferiores foi medida na articulação do joelho usando os valores de pico de torque (PT) de extensão do joelho (EJ) e flexão do joelho (FJ). Resultados O grupo controle percorreu uma distância maior no TC6 em comparação aos grupos pré-operatório (534 ± 67 m) e pós-operatório (541 ± 69 m), com distância de 612 ± 70 m (p <0,001). Não foram observadas diferenças em PT EJ (pré: 2,1 ± 0,63, pós: 2,1 ± 0,7, controle: 2,2 ± 0,7 Nm.kg−1, p = 0,67) ou PT FJ (pré: 1,0 ± 0,3, pós: 1,1 ± 0,3, controle: 1,1 ± 0,5 Nm.kg−1, p = 0,46). Houve uma correlação positiva moderada entre PT EJ e a distância do TC6 (r = 0,53, p < 0,001), assim como uma correlação positiva baixa entre PT FJ (r = 0,37, p = 0,003) e a distância do TC6. Conclusão Este estudo destaca a importância da força máxima dos membros inferiores na funcionalidade de pacientes com EIA. Nossos achados sugerem que programas de exercícios destinados a aumentar a força dos membros inferiores, especialmente de EJ, podem melhorar a capacidade de caminhada de pacientes com EIA. Esses resultados fornecem informações úteis para o projeto de programas de exercícios intencionais para pacientes com EIA e déficits de marcha.
