“…Until now, 12 consensus papers have been published by the SOSORT [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], including a consensus on terminology that was used initially to form the basis of this work [14]. During the SOSORT annual meeting in Wiesbaden, Germany in May 2014, a consensus group was formed, chaired by Dr. Theodoros B. Grivas, to develop a new brace classification.…”

Background: The current increase in types of scoliosis braces defined by a surname or a town makes scientific classification essential. Currently, it is a challenge to compare braces and specify the indications of each brace. A precise definition of the characteristics of current braces is needed. As such, the International Society for Scoliosis Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) mandated the Brace Classification Study Group (BCSG) to address the pertinent terminology and brace classification. As such, the following study represents the first part of the SOSORT consensus in addressing the definitions and providing a visual atlas of bracing. Methods: After a short introduction on the braces, the aim of the BCSG is described and its policies/general consideration are outlined. The BSCG endeavor embraces the very important SOSORT -Scoliosis Research Society cooperation, the history of which is also briefly narrated. This report contains contributions from a multidisciplinary panel of 17 professionals who are part of the BCSG. The BCSG introduced several pertinent domains to characterize bracing systems. The domains are defined to allow for analysis of each brace system.Results: A first approach to brace classification based on some of these proposed domains is presented. The BCSG has reached a consensus on 139 terms related to bracing and has provided over 120 figures to serve as an atlas for educational purposes.Conclusions: This is the first clinical terminology tool for bracing related to scoliosis based on the current scientific evidence and formal multidisciplinary consensus. A visual atlas of various brace types is also provided.

“…[3] The Study Group on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) recommend to use X-ray once a year even in serious diseases. [4] Due to the consensus and the risk factors, the way towards further development of alternative, non-invasive, radiation-free methods is opened. Nowadays many noninvasive spine examination methods are available (Moiré-method, flexicurve, inclinometer, kyphometer, goniometer, arcometer, 3SPACE, SpinalMouse, SpinalTouch, Zebris), which can be used for the measurement of the spinal curvature.…”

Abstract-The oldest and most accurate way of determining the shape of the spine is to make X-rays from two different angles, which can be performed once a year even in serious diseases, due to its high radiation exposure. However, in case of a conservative treatment of spinal disorders, continuous monitoring is necessary, thus different in-vivo methods are being developed, like optical (Moiré method), electromagnetic (SpinalTouch) and ultrasound based (Zebris) measuring devices, which can record the shape of spine without radiation exposure. The spinal curvature by the equation of a curve fitted on measured points of spine and by the complementary angles characterizing the spinal curvatures (thoracic and lumbar) derived from these aforementioned curves. Zebris and SpinalTouch measurements of 73 healthy patients -, aged between 10 and 15 -were the basis of the comparison. According to the results, the characterizing angles derived from the curves shows a high correlation (0.86-0.90) with the angles calculated with the traditional method, thus the application of these measurement methods and processing procedures can be reasonable.

ABSTRACT:Scoliosis is a 3D deformity of the human spinal column that is caused from the bending of the latter, causing pain, aesthetic and respiratory problems. This internal deformation is reflected in the outer shape of the human back. The golden standard for diagnosis and monitoring of scoliosis is the Cobb angle, which refers to the internal curvature of the trunk. This work is the first part of a postdoctoral research, presenting the most important researches that have been done in the field of scoliosis, concerning its digital visualisation, in order to provide a more precise and robust identification and monitoring of scoliosis. The research is divided in four fields, namely, the X-ray processing, the automatic Cobb angle(s) calculation, the 3D modelling of the spine that provides a more accurate representation of the trunk and the reduction of X-ray radiation exposure throughout the monitoring of scoliosis. Despite the fact that many researchers have been working on the field for the last decade at least, there is no reliable and universal tool to automatically calculate the Cobb angle(s) and successfully perform proper 3D modelling of the spinal column that would assist a more accurate detection and monitoring of scoliosis.
