Scoliosis is mainly caused by the spinal column deviating from its centerline during the growth process. It usually occurs in children aged 3–7 years old. After a detailed analysis of the existing scoliosis detection methods, this paper compares and analyzes the advantages of using multimedia image processing technology to check scoliosis in children aged 3–7 years and uses an adaptive multiobjective differential evolution algorithm to perform scoliosis comprehensive testing. Finally, the experimental analysis shows that the adaptive multiobjective differential evolution algorithm is applied to scoliosis detection to analyze the characteristics of children's cervical spine curvature and the relationship between the cervical spine curvature and the scoliosis angle.

“…In general, bracing has a positive influence on sitting function in children with neuromuscular scoliosis; the need of external support and the number of special adaptations of the AdSS decrease for many children when using the brace. 15 However, in the present case study, it was necessary to find alternative solutions because the boy did not tolerate the prolonged use of the brace. Despite our findings confirming that the scoliotic brace is more effective, it also reveals a good efficacy of the AdSS.…”

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular malformations causing seizures and cerebral hemorrhages. Neurological and functional profile can differ from each individual, and the management requires high complexity. The aim of the present case report was to explore the management of neuromuscular scoliosis in a young adult with CCM, comparing the use of a scoliotic brace with a customized adaptive seating system (AdSS). X-ray examinations were performed in three different situations: sitting in a flat bench without postural support, sitting in a flat bench with scoliotic brace, and sitting in an AdSS. For the analysis of the AdSS, an experimental radiolucent device was used. Differences in spine alignment and postural support were found. The best option to care was the use of the scoliotic brace. Nevertheless, the use of a customized AdSS offers a good solution for the management of neuromuscular scoliosis, with a difference of 10 degrees with respect to the scoliotic brace. Position was maintained at 3-month follow-up, with a reduction of the overhang of the spine. The use of an AdSS represents a valid attempt for the management of neuromuscular scoliosis in people with CCM. This approach can be considered when the patient suffers the scoliotic brace and/or when the brace interferes with breathing or other clinical conditions.

Globally, the prevalence of myelomeningocele, the most common subtype of spina bifida, is 0.2 to 6.5 per 1,000 live births. In the U.S., adults account for .67% of the overall population with spina bifida.» With an estimated prevalence of up to 50%, scoliosis is one of the most common and severe orthopaedic conditions in patients with myelomeningocele.Disclosure: The Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest forms are provided with the online version of the article (http://links.lww.com/JBJSREV/A814).

The effect of spinal bracing on sitting function in children with neuromuscular scoliosis

Abstract: Bracing can reduce the need for support in sitting. Children with severe scoliosis can get a better sitting function with a brace. Sitting analysis with pressure mapping can identify sitting problems needing correction of the brace and adaptations of the chair.
