“…The treatment for adolescents with mild idiopathic scoliosis is often passive, with only periodical observation by orthopaedists. It is possible that scoliotic adolescents suffer from progressive spinal curvature in a short period of time during puberty [ 31 ]. Adolescents with an idiopathic scoliosis curve that is over 21° are usually recommended to wear a brace made of rigid materials, such as that with a plastic or metal frame, to limit the progression of the spinal deformity.…”

There is a number of research work in the literature that have applied sEMG biofeedback as an instrument for muscle rehabilitation. Therefore, sEMG is a good tool for this research work and is used to record the myoelectric activity in the paraspinal muscles of those with AIS during habitual standing and sitting. After the sEMG evaluation, the root-mean-square (RMS) sEMG values of the paraspinal muscles in the habitual postures reflect the spinal curvature situation of the PUMC Type Ia and IIc subjects. Both groups have a stronger average RMS sEMG value on the convex side of the affected muscle regions. Correction to posture as instructed by the physiotherapist has helped the subjects to achieve a more balanced RMS sEMG ratio in the trapezius and latissimus dorsi regions; the erector spinae in the thoracic region and/or erector spinae in the lumbar region. It is, therefore, considered that with regular practice of the suggested positions, those with AIS can use motor learning to achieve a more balanced posture. Consequently, the findings can be used in less intrusive early orthotic intervention and provision of care to those with AIS.

“…"^' Carreon et aP° compared preoperative to 1 year postoperative SRS-22 values in a cohort of patients with AIS (mean age = 14 [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]) and determined significant MCID values to be 0.20,0.08, and 0.98 for the pain, activity, and self-image domains, respectively ( Table 2). Radiographical measures collected included T2-T12, T5-T12, and greatest Cobb kyphosis, major coronal Cobb angle, C7 sagittal vertical axis, lordosis, and thoracic and lumbar apex location and translations.…”

“…The HRQoL of conservatively treated AIS patients did not differ between those that were braced and those under observation-alone management [ 13 ]. Additionally, HRQoL was shown to differ according to type of brace used [ 14 ]. Time spent in the brace is shown to be related to body image, which decreased with time spent in the brace [ 15 ].…”

Health-related quality of life of adolescents conservatively treated for idiopathic scoliosis in Korea: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundYoung adolescents with scoliosis are more likely than adults to experience psychological distress affecting health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Adolescence is a sensitive period of psychological development, and thus physical deformity from scoliosis can negatively affect body image and appearance of adolescents. The present study evaluated HRQoL in young Korean adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and identified related factors.MethodsOne hundred and ten adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis were recruited from two tertiary hospital outpatient clinics over one year. HRQoL was measured using the Korean version of the Scoliosis Research Society 22 revision (SRS-22r) questionnaire. In addition, participant medical records were reviewed to collect data on severity of scoliosis, type of treatment and age at which they were first diagnosed with the disease.ResultsThe mean age of the participants was 14.2 years and 48.2 % were first diagnosed at 9–12 years. Most participants (61.8 %) were under observation to follow up the curvature progression and 20.9 % received regular physiotherapy. Almost half the participants (47.3 %) had mild (10°–25°), 41.8 % moderate (25°–40°), and 10.9 % severe (>40°) scoliosis. The total score of the SRS-22r differed significantly between the groups of age at diagnosis (p = 0.033) and type of treatment (p = 0.025). Self-image, a sub-domain of the SRS 22r, was significantly lower in the severe curve deformity group than in the other groups (p = 0.031).ConclusionsAn earlier age of scoliosis diagnosis and conservative treatment were related to higher HRQoL scores of Korean adolescents with scoliosis. Although the overall HRQoL did not significantly differ by severity of disease, self-image was significantly decreased in adolescents with severe spinal deformity. HRQoL of adolescent patients with idiopathic scoliosis can be affected by several factors that medical staff needs to consider in order to produce the best and most effective treatment outcomes.

Quality of life and brace-treated idiopathic scoliosis: A cross-sectional study performed at the Centre des Massues on a population of 120 children and adolescents

Abstract: The use of the carbon brace and of the Lyon brace induces a reduction in QoL whatever the evaluation tool, either SRS-22 or VAS. However, the use of the Lyon brace impairs QoL more than the use of the carbon brace.
