Impact of Spinal Curves on Asymmetric Posture in Idiopathic Scoliosis
An observational study of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) and Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis, run by Istituto Scientifico Italiano Colonna Vertebrale at 1 site in Italy.
Trial summary
Asymmetric postures are often observed in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and are partially associated with instability in sitting and standing positions, as well as with imbalances in gait kinematic parameters in cases of moderate or severe scoliosis. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Does the Presence and Type of Curves Influence the Choice of Asymmetric Postures Adopted in Daily Life by Patients with Juvenile and Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis?
Asymmetric postures are often observed in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and are partially associated with instability in sitting and standing positions, as well as with imbalances in gait kinematic parameters in cases of moderate or severe scoliosis.
Based on the currently available data, no correlation has been identified between habitual postures in daily life and the presence of scoliosis. However, the asymmetry of preferred postures in relation to the morphological characteristics of the curves, and how this might contribute to the progression of the clinical condition due to prolonged uneven load distribution, has not yet been analyzed.

Understanding any preferential direction in postures habitually adopted by patients with idiopathic scoliosis could provide valuable insights for the conservative management of the condition.
The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of the morphological characteristics of scoliotic curves (type and laterality) in patients with juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis on the choice of preferentially maintained asymmetric postures in daily life, using a descriptive questionnaire completed by family members and caregivers, compared to a group of non-scoliotic subjects.
Evaluate the effect of curve magnitude, age, sex, and Risser grade on the choice of usual asymmetric postures.
Estimate the impact of prolonged maintenance of habitual asymmetric postures on the clinical progression in patients with juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Scoliosis patients | Patients aged between 6 and 18 years old with a diagnosis of idiopathic scoliosis are asked to answer a questionnaire investigating the preferred postures adopted daily | |
| Control group | Subjects aged between 6 and 18 years old without a diagnosis of idiopathic scoliosis are asked to answer a questionnaire investigating the preferred postures adopted daily |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Everyday posture questionnaire
The types of postures most frequently maintained in daily life by patients with idiopathic scoliosis will be compared with a group of age-matched individuals without scoliosis, and any statistically significant differences will be analyzed using the chi-square test
Measured: At enrollment

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
