This Cross-sectional Study Investigates the Relationship Between Different Curve Patterns in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) and the Distribution of Foot Pressure. It Aims to Determine Whether Coronal and Sagittal Curve Patterns Are Associated With Asymmetries in Plantar Pressure Distribution

This cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between different curve patterns in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) and the distribution of foot pressure. It aims to determine whether coronal and sagittal curve patterns are associated with asymmetries in plantar pressure distribution during static standing.

About this study

Study Objectives Primary Objective: To assess the correlation between curve pattern and foot pressure percentage in the coronal plane.

Secondary Objective: To assess the correlation between curve pattern and foot pressure percentage in the sagittal plane.

Study Design Type: Observational (Cross-sectional) Model: two Group Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional Statistical Analysis: Pearson correlation coefficient will be used to determine the strength and direction of the relationship.

Treatment and study plan

Foot pressure Distribution test

Diagnostic Test

This study is observational and does not involve any therapeutic or experimental intervention. Participants will be divided into two groups based on their scoliosis curve pattern:

Group 1: Adolescents with a major thoracic curve. Group 2: Adolescents with a major lumbar curve.

Each participant will undergo non-invasive assessments including:

Baropodometric foot pressure analysis during static standing to evaluate pressure distribution in both coronal and sagittal planes.

Radiographic evaluation to classify curve patterns using Cobb's angle, Central Sacral Vertical Line, and Plumb Line.

Primary outcomes

  1. Foot pressure distribution in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis

    Time frame: 1-2 days

    measured using baropodometry during static standing.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Correlation between curve pattern characteristics (e.g., Cobb angle, Central Sacral Vertical Line, Plumb Line) and foot pressure asymmetry.

    Time frame: 2 days

    Identification of any compensatory postural adaptations associated with different curve patterns.
