Reliability of Three-dimensional Ultrasound Parameters and Their Correlation with the Progression of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
DownloadFall 2016
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional (3D) spinal deformity with unknown causes and with prevalence of 1.5 - 3% of adolescents. If AIS is left untreated, it may progress, leading to back pain, cardiopulmonary problems, and psychosocial concerns, and eventually resulting in...

Markerless 3D Assessment of Severity and Progression of Scoliosis Using Surface Topography on Isolated Back Scans
DownloadSpring 2019
The objectives of the thesis were to: 1. Determine if open source software can be use in markerless asymmetry analysis of surface topography. 2. Determine if isolated back scans can be used in markerless asymmetry analysis of surface topography. Markerless asymmetry analysis of surface...

Algorithms for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Classification Based on Surface Topography Analysis
DownloadSpring 2018
While the common method for diagnosing and monitoring adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is X-ray radiographs from which a Cobb angle is measured, studies have shown that high radiation exposure is linked to high risk of cancer, particularly, for children and women. This thesis describes...

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...
