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

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

(1) Adolescents aged 10-18 years, diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with a Cobb angle ≥10°; (2) No history of spinal surgery or other corrective treatments; (3) Able to undergo short-term inpatient treatment (5 days) and comply with study procedures.

Exclusion criteria

(1) Patients with congenital, neuromuscular, or other secondary scoliosis; (2) Presence of major comorbidities affecting spinal structure or muscle tone (e.g., spinal cord injury, muscular dystrophy); (3) Patients unable to complete standardized assessment procedures.

Treatment and study plan

Tuina

Procedure

X-ray mapping guides three days of tailored exercises, including 3D therapy, breathing techniques, and spinal manipulation.

Other names: Tuina, sports gymnastics

Primary outcomes

  1. Back height difference

    Time frame: Day 1 of Admission and Day 5 of Admission

    Using depth cameras to acquire back data, point cloud processing algorithms analyze the information. The height difference between the highest point on the convex side and the corresponding point on the concave side is measured, with three repetitions taken to calculate the average value.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Angle of trunk rotation

    Time frame: Day 1 of Admission and Day 5 of Admission

    A scoliometer is used to measure the patient's angle of trunk rotation (ATR). Measurements are repeated three times, and the average value is taken.
