Functional Testing, and Biomechanics Before and After Scoliosis Surgery
The purpose of the study is to examine the changes in function and performance biomechanics
in patients undergoing spinal fusion corrective surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
(AIS).
in patients undergoing spinal fusion corrective surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
(AIS).
Methods will consist of movement studies, questionnaires, and chart review. The recruited
subjects will be followed at the usual clinical schedule of pre-op, 6-week, 3 -, 6- and
12-month post-operative follow-up visits. After signing informed consent, age at time of
surgery, height, weight, body composition, leg length will be recorded to be used during
data processing. Chart review will further yield data on Cobb angle, Lenke Scoliosis
classification, instrumentation used during surgery, and level of spinal fusion. All
subjects will be asked to complete assessments of activity level (Marx Score, Tegner
Activity Score), general health (EQ-5D), and a validated scoliosis survey (Scoliosis
Research Study questionnaire SRS-22). Movement studies will consist of the Lower Quarter Y
Balance Test (YBT-LQ), and Functional Movement Screen (FMS), and measures of forward
flexion, right and left lateral bending, and right and left trunk rotation. These measures
will be assessed preoperatively and at postoperative follow-up visits.
