“…Although a subtle curvature of the spine and spatial disorientation of the pelvis, thorax and shoulders are observed quite frequently in children and youth (2-38 %) [17,18], a clinical diagnosis of IS is not communicated until there is of unknown cause, an emergence of axial and lateral deviation of the spine that exceeds 10 º [4]. The frontal plane radiograph has historically served as the primary diagnostic clinical tool.…”

“…Investigation of the clinical utility of the application of metrics to the spatial disorientation of the thoracic cage, pelvis and shoulders has been the focus of numerous studies [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Within the context of this work, a significant interest is devoted to quantifying the relationship between surface metrics and the underlying alignment of the spine [12,47].…”

“…Quanto às deformidades e ou desalinhamentos posturais foi realizada uma avaliação postural, baseada nos trabalhos de Vercauteren et al (73) , Bricot (67) , Magee (69) , Kendall, et al (56) e Smith, O' Sullivan e Straker (68) . O objetivo foi identificar aqueles voluntários que apresentassem grandes alterações, e que foram excluídos do estudo, uma vez que a postura pode alterar o padrão de ativação dos músculos do tronco (60) , comprometendo os objetivos do estudo.…”

“…Para avaliação da postura foram utilizados: um simetrógrafo, uma prancha de 40x40 cm posicionada na região central do simetrógrafo para posicionamento dos pés, fio de prumo fixado ao teto, e um tripé para colocação da câmera digital posicionado a 275 cm dos pés do voluntário (73) e com altura de 85 cm do chão. O voluntário foi orientado a vestir roupa de praia e o avaliador posicionou marcadores sobre a espinha ilíaca ântero-superior (EIAS) e sobre a espinha ilíaca póstero-superior (EIPS) do lado dominante e por fim marcou-se com lápis dermatográfico a apófise espinhosa da terceira vértebra lombar.…”

The anatomical growth of the thoracic cage in adolescents with specific reference to axial growth comparing the right and left hemithorax

This study has demonstrated the changing volume of both the anterior and posterior thorax in normal adolescents (without spinal or thoracic deformity), differentiating for both sex and age, to further understand how the thorax grows, along with the differences in growth between the anterior and posterior thorax. The thorax was measured on axial CT slices at every vertebral level from T3 to T12 in a series of scans previous taken for routine clinical care. Measurements taken were the anteroposterior thoracic distance and the area of the anterior and posterior rib prominences on either side of the thorax. Data was analyzed per vertebral level, differentiating for age and sex. There were 486 CT scans analyzed (257 males and 229 females) between the ages of 8 and 18 years. The analysis identified that for the anterior thorax, there are three phases of growth with an initial slow increase in volume, followed by a stabilization of little growth, followed by another phase of a more rapid increase in volume. For the posterior thorax, there was a gradual increase in area with increasing age. This study demonstrates that the shape of the thorax is age and sex dependent, with males having both a greater width and depth of thorax compared to females. Of particular note is the difference in patterns of growth between the anterior and posterior thorax. This information will add to the understanding of normal growth, which will aid in the management of conditions where that growth is disturbed.
