LiDAR Measured Curve Reduction in Adult Scoliosis: A Case Report.

Abstract Background: Adult scoliosis is associated with pain, disability, and reduced quality of life. Conservative management strategies such as physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises (PSSE), manual therapy, and traction are often explored, but evidence for their use remains limited. Case Presentation: A 22-year-old female with mild structural scoliosis presented with pain, postural imbalance, and functional limitations. Baseline […]

Correlations in Full-Body Postural Morphology: A Cross-Sectional Exploratory Pilot Study Using a Dual-Camera Structured Light System

Absract Postural assessment is fundamental for the diagnosis and monitoring of musculoskeletal disorders. While single-camera structured light systems exist, they often lack the capability for simultaneous full-body capture, potentially leading to motion artifacts and incomplete analysis of the postural chain. This technical note utilizes a dual-camera architecture to explore the clinical feasibility and identify postural

Differences in the aging of the spine according to physical activity levels in older women

Introduction Physiological aging involves progressive changes in the spine, with possible alterations in alignment and sagittal balance. In this context, physical activity emerges as a key factor in preventing postural deterioration. A recent study published in Frontiers in Medicine analysed morphological differences in the spine in elderly women with different levels of physical activity, providing

Acute effects of early Core exercises program post lumbar arthrodesis. Biofeedback, supervised, autonomously: which is the better methods? Exploratory study.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the acute effects of three rehabilitations methods on balance and spine alignment of patients underwent LIF. Methods: Twentyseven patients (58.67±8.49 yy; 13 Female) were recruited, signed an informed consent and randomly divided into three groups who did the same core exercises of perception and activation for the same time but using

Three-Dimensional Posture Analysis-Based Modifications After Manual Therapy: A Preliminary Study

Background/Objectives: Manual therapies like Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and Gentle Touch Intervention (GTI) are widely employed for improving posture and spinal alignment, but their effects as measured using advanced technologies remain underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the short-term postural effects of these interventions using a non-invasive three-dimensional rasterstereography-based approach, focusing on the cervical arrow, lumbar

Spine3d and Its Reliability in Evalution of Deformity in Patients with Idiopathic Scoliolic

Abstract Idiopathic scoliosis is a complicated orthopedic disorder marked by a side-to-side curvature of the spine, the cause of which is unknown and it predominantly affects children and adolescents. The Cobb angle is the conventional technique for evaluating the severity of scoliosis through X-rays; however, it has limitations, including inter and intra-observer variability that can

Spine3d: Evaluation of Deformity in Patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Case Series

Abstract Idiopathic scoliosis is a complex orthopedic condition marked by a lateral spinal curvature, typically affecting children and adolescents. The Cobb angle is a key metric for evaluating scoliosis severity through X-rays, but its measurement can suffer from variability due to imaging quality, positioning and physician experience, with an acceptable range of variation up to

LiDAR and X-ray: A Retrospective Comparison of Spinal Alignment

ABSTRACT: The study explores the potential of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology as a non-invasive alternative for measuting spinal alignment, particularly focusing on the correlation between LiDAR generated data and traditional X-ray measurements. The research involved 275 patients who underwent both full spine X-rays and LiDAR scans. The study compared measurements of Cobb angle,

Acute Effects of Core Activation Exercises on Spine Alignment and Balance of Patients Undergoing Spine Surgery: Feasibility Study

Abstract Conservative treatment is the first choice for most spine pathologies. If this option fails, surgical treatment is often the only alternative. Interventions like microscopic lumbar discectomy and lumbar interbody fusion are the most common ones. Following spine surgery (SS), trunk proprioception may decrease favoring sensorimotor and balance alterations. Providing information to the somatosensory system

Effects of Cycling on Spine: A Case-Control Study Using a 3D Scanning Method

Background: Few studies have investigated the effects of adopting a specific and prolonged posture on cyclists. This study aimed to evaluate the upright spine in a sample of recreational cyclists and compare it with a sample of non-cyclists, though still athletes, through a 3D scanning method. Methods: Forty-eight participants were enrolled in this observational study.
