Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Classifying, Assessing, and Monitoring using Surface Topography Asymmetry Analysis
DownloadFall 2014
The radiation dose and the associated lifetime risk of developing cancer is a problem justifying the use of surface topography (ST) as an alternative to radiographs for monitoring scoliosis. The current ST methods mainly rely on marker placement and fail to describe the 3D aspect of the scoliosis...

Markerless Surface Topography for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Screening, Torso Aesthetic Appearance Assessment, and Postural Outcomes Evaluation
DownloadFall 2024
The primary goal of conservative treatment for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is to prevent the spinal curve from worsening. Other goals of treatment are to improve aesthetic outcomes through postural correction, address respiratory dysfunction, and treat pain symptoms. The...

The Reliability and In-exercise Reduction of Frontal and Rotational Ultrasound Measurements for Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis Performing Scoliosis-specific Exercises
DownloadFall 2018
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a spine deformity of unknown cause characterized by abnormal lateral curvature (Cobb angle>10°) with vertebral rotation. AIS affects 2-3% of all adolescents whom are likely to progress during their growth spurt preceding skeletal maturity. The Scoliosis...
