Purpose To create an updated and comprehensive overview of the modeling studies that
have been done to understand the mechanics underlying deformities of adolescent …

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has been linked to neurological, genetic, hormonal,
microbial, and environmental cues. Physically, however, AIS is a structural deformation …

Many years of dedicated research into the etiology of idiopathic scoliosis have not led to one
unified theory. We propose that scoliosis is a mechanical, rotatory decompensation of the …

Purpose There is great controversy about the etiologic origin of adolescent idiopathic
scoliosis. Multiple theories have been suggested, including metabolic aspects, endocrine …

The percentage of spine misalignment increases during the childhood and adolescence
stages. The Pilates method has been associated with an improvement in the sagittal spine …

Abstract Purpose Bending Asymmetry Index (BAI) has been proposed to characterize the
types of scoliotic curve in three-dimensional ultrasound imaging. Scolioscan has …

Disease pathogenesis, a type of domain knowledge about biological mechanisms leading to
diseases, has not been adequately encoded in machine-learning-based medical diagnostic …

Purpose Pelvic morphology dictates the alignment and biomechanics of the spine. Recent
observations in different types of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis indicate that individual …

Purpose We aimed to provide a perspective review of the available quantitative imaging
modalities of the spine for prognostic evaluation of the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) …

Scoliosis is a deformation of the spine that may have several known causes, but humans are
the only mammal known to develop scoliosis without any obvious underlying cause. This is …
