About this study

In clinical routine, 3D analysis of postural balance is only made using clinical examination. When dealing with specific pathologies, in particular spine disorders, a better understanding of the balance could help better treat and prevent late complications. This prospective study aims at describing the pathologies of the musculoskeletal system using 3D reconstruction of the spine, the pelvis and the inferior limbs with regard to gravity line by patients suffering from postural trouble and defining new parameters to assess postural balance

Treatment and study plan

EOS™ Acquisition

Device

Double Incidence Postero Anterior and Lateral full body low-dose X-ray acquisition on EOS™ device following SOP of the service of radiology.

Primary outcomes

  1. To assess the three-dimensional geometrical configuration of the skeleton with respect to the gravity line on a large population of patient presenting a broad spectrum of pathologies inducing postural imbalance.

    Time frame: 1 day

Secondary outcomes

  1. 3D Position of the middle of acoustic meati, of each vertebral body, of the center of both acetabula and the barycentre of the four condyles with respect to the gravity line.

    Time frame: 1 day

  2. Morphologic and positioning parameters of the pelvis (pelvic incidence, pelvic version, sacral slope & pelvic radius)

    Time frame: 1 day

  3. Kyphosis, lordosis and sinopelvic balance

    Time frame: 1 day

  4. To validate the measure of femoral and tibial torsion using EOS™ images

    Time frame: 1 day

  5. influence of position change on the evaluation of changes in postural balance following surgery

    Time frame: After surgery
