“…The value of rotation measured with the accuracy of 1 • of left-sided and right-sided curves was summed up as positive value. Simplification of the measurement provided a quick overview of the behavior of both sections-primary and secondary (thoracic and lumbar)-and was an assessment of the global value of trunk rotation in double-curve scoliosis [13].…”

(1) Background: Idiopathic scoliosis occurs in 2 to 4% of children between 10 and 16 years of age. Due to the harmfulness of radiological examination, non-invasive devices, including the 3D ultrasound technology and Scolioscan apparatus, are more and more frequently used for postural diagnostics. The aim of the study was to analyze the parameters of posture in patients with idiopathic scoliosis with the use of 3D ultrasound diagnostics. (2) Methods: The study included 20 girls, aged 10 to 16 years, with double-curve idiopathic scoliosis (the value of primary curve ranged from 25–50°), types I and II according to King–Moe classification. On the basis of X-ray scan, the Cobb angle of primary and secondary curves was assessed, the skeletal maturity was evaluated with the Risser test, and the type of scoliosis was determined. The girls participated in a 3-week rehabilitation program. The examinations were performed before and after therapy. A scoliometer was used for measurements. Each of the participants underwent individual therapy. The three-plane approach to asymmetric exercises was based largely on positions that included primary curve correction with hypercorrection of the secondary curve. (3) Results: After the therapy, values of trunk rotation angles and the angle of scoliotic curvature of secondary curve were significantly lower than before the therapy, except for the value of the primary curve angle. The parameters measured by X-ray were significantly and positively related to the results obtained with the scoliometer and the scolioscan. (4) Conclusions: The application of therapy that takes into account summing parameters may prevent the deterioration of the secondary curve when treating patients with idiopathic scoliosis. The observed correlations between the parameters of the radiological examination, the scoliometer, and the scolioscan prove the possibility of their interchangeable application in the assessment of effects of the therapy. Three-dimensional ultrasound diagnostics may become an alternative to radiological examination in assessing the treatment effects of patients with idiopathic scoliosis.

Background: The study aimed to assess the dynamics of changes in the torques of derotating and redressing forces acting on the apexes of deformation curvature arches during active, kyphosis-inducing exercises using the D4S device. Methods: The study group included 12 girls aged 9 to 10 years (age X = 9.36, SD = 1.52; weight X = 31.34 kg, SD = 3.28; height X = 134.23 cm, SD = 8.25). The study was carried out using the D4S interactive spine and posture rehabilitation system with dynamic, personalised stimulation. Measurements were taken during six successive therapeutic visits of each patient, each containing five repeated sets. A single set involved applying pressure on the device heads 20 times for 8 s. For each patient, the resistance head was in the right top (RT) setting, individually adjusted for patient needs. Results: The results showed that the values of the measured moments of the derotating-redressing forces acting on the curvature peak vertebrae ranged from 24.1 N/cm2 to 39.9 N/cm2. The analysis of the differences in the values of the pressure of the derotating head on the spine in subsequent measurements, accounting for all measurements taken in subsequent cycles of the study, indicates significant variation in pressure values (K-W = 31.0660, p = 0.00029 *). Similar dynamics of changes and variation in the results were noted for the values of the pressure applied with the derotating head in subsequent cycles of the study. In this case, the variation in the results was also statistically significant (K-W = 24.4747, p = 0.00018 *). Conclusions: The values of forces increase slightly with the subsequent series of exercises. The assessment of the value of forces may be an element of optimal and more effective training plans in the therapy discussed.
