3D Imaging Assessment of Scoliosis: Back Height Difference vs. Trunk Rotation Angle

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

In brief

This study focuses on adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis, employing 3D imaging technology with depth cameras to measure back height difference (BHD) and angle of trunk rotation (ATR) before and after conventional treatments such as massage, exercise therapy, and bracing. Statistical analyses are conducted to verify the correlation between BHD and ATR and to assess the sensitivity of BHD in evaluating short-term treatment effectiveness.
