Assessment of the centre of pressure pattern and moments about S2 in scoliotic subjects during normal walking

Abstract

Although further longitudinal studies are needed, results indicate that the variables identified in this study are applicable to initial screening and surgical evaluation of scoliosis.

Comparison of Pedobarographic Profile in Young Males with Left and Right Scoliotic Posture

“…These movement compensations can balance asymmetries caused by scoliosis. This might be the reason why differences between scoliotic and non-scoliotic individuals are seen in EMG (Mahaudens et al, 2009;Mahaudens and Mousny, 2010), kinematic (Chen et al, 1998;Engsberg et al, 2001;Kramers-de Quervain et al, 2004;Mahaudens et al, 2009;Mahaudens and Mousny, 2010;Syczewska et al, 2010;Syczewska et al, 2012;Yang et al, 2013;Park et al, 2016a), spatio-temporal (Chen et al, 1998;Lenke et al, 2001;Engsberg et al, 2001;Mahaudens et al, 2009;Syczewska et al, 2010;Park et al, 2016a) and some components of kinetic parameters (Giakas et al, 1996;Chockalingam et al, 2004;Chockalingam et al, 2008;Bruyneel et al, 2009;Chern et al, 2014;Yang et al, 2014;Park et al, 2016b), but not in force components of ground reaction forces (Giakas et al, 1996;Chockalingam et al, 2004;Yang et al, 2013;Park et al, 2016b).…”

“…Research based on ground reaction forces (GRF) appear to have more consistent findings. Most of the studies suggest that there is association between scoliosis and GRF parameters, especially in right and left foot asymmetry (Chockalingam et al, 2004;Chockalingam et al, 2008;Bruyneel et al, 2009;Chern et al, 2014;Yang et al, 2014;Park et al, 2016b). Another interesting finding is that GRF parameters tend to have larger variability in scoliotic patients compared to non-scoliotic individuals (Giakas et al, 1996;Chockalingam et al, 2008).…”

Dynamic balance assessment during gait in spinal pathologies – A literature review

“…The trunk principal forces during gait act in the antero-posterior and medio-lateral planes and peaks of forces occur simultaneously and increase with velocity [28]. Natural asymmetries of human walking are well emphasized by ground reaction force (GRF) data [10][11][12]24].…”

“…Thirteen studies reported gait anomalies related to scoliosis and are presented in Table 2 [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]34]. Patients' characteristics regarding the deformity were variable (Table 3).…”

Severity of spine malalignment on center of pressure progression during level walking in subjects with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

“…This study intended to define gait characteristics with CoP trajectory and determine whether or not it is possible to detect changes of Cobb's angle by CoP progression patterns during walking. Chockalingam et al's [13] study is the only one study that measured CoP progression pattern of IS patients during walking, and they found high variability of CoP progression among 9 AIS with varied Cobb's angle. This result indicated that CoP progression pattern might be promising in detecting the severity of spine mal-alignment in AIS patients.…”
