“…They further found that the prone position is the most effective to predict the initial effect of orthotic treatment on patients with AIS. 51 Jiang et al 52 used 3D ultrasound (Scolioscan) to investigate the effects of postural changes in spine deformity in the coronal plane of AIS patients and found that 3D ultrasound was able to demonstrate spine deformities. They concluded that these deformities of AIS subjects vary with different positions, and the patterns of changes in sitting or sitting forward bending positions are highly subject dependent.…”

This article reviews the weight-bearing imaging methods in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), a three-dimensional (3D) deformity of the spine with unknown etiology. The apical vertebrae in AIS rotate away from the midline in a complex 3D pattern that formerly could only be appreciated by computed tomography (CT). Despite its superb anatomical delineation, CT is not ideal due to high radiation and scanning in either the supine or prone position; hence the full effect of gravity on the spinal curvature cannot be assessed. The introduction of low-dose stereoradiography with the capacity of 3D reconstruction has recently opened up a new era of assessment of the scoliotic spine in the upright position at multiple time points during the preoperative and postoperative period. The handheld 3D ultrasound imaging system also provides a radiation-free alternative for close monitoring for disease progression and treatment outcomes for AIS. Upright magnetic resonance imaging is radiation free and superb for the assessment of spinal cord and intervertebral disks; however, its utilization in scoliosis is limited by high cost and limited availability.

“…The reliability and validity of different coronal spinal ultrasound angle measurements were further investigated using the same ultrasound system, excellent correlations were found between ultrasound and Cobb measurement and no differences in reliability and validity were observed between the ultrasound angles based on the spinous processes and transverse processes (Brink et al 2018). The 3D ultrasound system were also demonstrated to provide reliable information of spinal flexibility and in-orthosis correction of patients with AIS in the prone position (He et al 2017) and the patterns of alternation of coronal curve changes of patients with AIS during forward bending (Jiang et al 2018). In a previous study, ultrasound was shown to be able to provide reliable sagittal measurement of spinal phantoms and a few human subjects (Lee et al 2019), however the sample size of the human subjects was too small and relatively long period was required for data acquisition.…”

“…There are several ways to test the effectiveness of the FED method in treating patients with idiopathic scoliosis. The most popular, but harmful due to radiation exposure, is a radiological examination, which is still the standard for diagnosing scoliosis [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Scoliosis patients can get 10 to 25 spinal X-rays over several years equating to a maximum 10 to 25 mGy of cumulative exposure.…”

(1) Background: Idiopathic scoliosis is a major treatment problem due to its unknown origin and its three-dimensional nature. Attempts to cure it and search for new methods of physiotherapeutic treatment that would lead to its correction are one of the key issues of modern medicine. One of them is the fixation, elongation, de-rotation method (FED), used in the conservative treatment of idiopathic scoliosis. The aim of the study was evaluation of the short-term effectiveness of the FED method in the treatment of patients with idiopathic scoliosis. (2) Methods: Each patient underwent therapy based on the guidelines of the FED method. Patients were tested with the Bunnell scoliometer and the Zebris computer system. The treatment period was three weeks, after which the examinations were repeated. (3) Results: The results appeared to be statistically significant for all tested variables. (4) Conclusions: The examinations showed that the FED method had a statistically significant effect on the improvement of all parameters of posture examination, regardless of the size of the scoliotic deformation angle and bone maturity.
