“…For this reason, these surface measurements have a permanent place in the diagnosis and observation of scoliosis. 34 However, the reconstructed centre-line does not allow assessing the Cobb angle to a satisfactory degree. The mean error for the Cobb angle is still too high for this measurement to be used clinically.…”

The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between erector spinae electromyographic frequency (SEMG) and the location, direction and number of spinal curvatures in children with scoliotic changes. Methods: Analysis comprised 103 (42,21%) children with scoliosis and 141 (57.79%) with scoliotic posture. Body posture and the spine were examined using the Diers formetric III 4D optoelectronic method. Electromyographic analysis was performed using a 14-channel Noraxon TeleMyo DTS apparatus. Results: In girls, the highest mean SEMG frequency of the erector spinae, calculated from 16 measurements, occurred in the case of scoliotic posture (Mean = 73.69 Hz), while in boys, the greatest values were noted for scoliosis (Mean = 79.75 Hz). There was a significant correlation between erector spinae SEMG frequency and curvature location, both in the scoliosis group (p = 0.003) and in the group with scoliotic posture (p = 0.04). There was also a significant correlation between SEMG frequency of the erector spinae and direction of the curvature, both in the scoliosis (p = 0.01) and scoliotic posture groups (p = 0.04), as well as between the erector spinae SEMG frequency and the number of spinal curvatures (scoliosis group: p = 0.03; scoliotic posture group: p = 0.03). Conclusion:The study is of applicative value and fills the gap in research on erector spinae SEMG frequency of in low-grade scoliosis among small children. Our research can also be used in research on the etiology and progression scoliosis. Visible disturbances in the erector spinae SEMG frequency (activity and tension) contribute to the development of curvature and testify to the fact that these changes are the primary cause of idiopathic scoliosis. Scoliosis is merely a symptom, an external expression of CNS dysfunction that is not fully recognised. It is also visible on the SEMG record of postural muscles. Our objective is to contribute to creating a future model record for SEMG of the postural muscles, characteristic for children with scoliosis. Then, based on electromyographic examination, it will be possible to identify initial symptoms of scoliosis and start preventive rehabilitation before irreversible bone changes occur.

“…Scoliotic posture occurred when pelvic tilt was 1-5 mm, and at the same time, lateral deviation was 1-5 mm, while surface rotation was 1 • -5 • . Scoliosis occurred when pelvic tilt and lateral deviation were greater than 5 mm (>5 mm), while surface rotation was greater than 5 degrees (>5 • ) [16]. In the case that three requirements were not met, it was assumed that scoliosis or scoliotic posture did not occur.…”

The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between the angle of spinal curvature and surface electromyography (SEMG) amplitude of the erector spinae in young school-children. A total of 251 children aged 7–8 participated in the study. The analysis involved 103 (41%) children with scoliosis, 141 (56.17%) with scoliotic posture, and seven (3.0%) with normal posture. Body posture was evaluated using the Diers formetric III 4D optoelectronic method. Analysis of SEMG amplitude of the erector spinae was performed with the Noraxon TeleMyo DTS apparatus. A significant correlation was found between the angle of spinal curvature and the SEMG amplitude of the erector spinae. The most important and statistically significant predictor of the SEMG amplitude and scoliosis angle in the scoliosis group was the standing position, chest segment, right side. The largest generalized SEMG amplitude of the erector spinae occurred in both boys and girls with scoliosis. Impaired balance of muscle tension in the erector spinae can trigger a set of changes that create a clinical and anatomopathological image of spinal curvature.

Congenital Scoliosis: A Current Concepts Review

Context: Congenital scoliosis is a difficult condition for orthopedic surgeons. There are some influencing factors to choose the best treatment option for scoliosis. Objectives: Patients with congenital scoliosis may encounter different anomalies. There exist various surgical techniques with different indications. Methods: Electronic databases, such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus were searched for congenital scoliosis. Articles published from 1928 to 2020 were searched. A narrative review was conducted by focusing on treatment options. Results: Different methods are presented in the literature that consists of operative and nonoperative approaches. Nonoperative treatment methods are seldom a final choice. They are used to postpone the final surgery. There are different methods of surgeries in the literature; the best treatment strategy concerns the patients’ condition and the surgeon’s preference. Conclusions: The critical issue in the management of congenital scoliosis is to diagnose these patients’ curves before severe progression, i.e. mandatory to achieve desirable results. Usually, a course of nonoperative treatment can be started, but only to postpone the final surgery. The preferred surgical treatment depends on the type of congenital scoliosis and the age of the patient. The treatment of congenital scoliosis should be a multidisciplinary approach due to concomitant morbidity in these patients.
