Abstract
BACKGROUND It is recognized that pain related to adult individuals with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) substantially impacts individuals' daily activities and quality of life. The objective of this study was to identify the possible predictors of pain intensity in non‑surgically treated adults with IS. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 58 adults individuals with Lenke type 1 IS. Participants' sociodemographic characteristics were recorded, and pain severity, curvature severity, trunk rotation angle, disability, spinal mobility, cosmetic deformity perception, and quality of life were assessed. Regression analyses with various models were performed to determine the predictors of pain severity and the best model was selected based on performance criteria. RESULTS Strong associations were found between pain severity with curvature severity, spinal mobility, trunk rotation angle, perception of cosmetic deformity, disability, and quality of life (p < 0.05). It was observed that Lasso regression was the best model based on the performance criteria considered. According to this model, the primary predictors of pain intensity in adult IS were determined as curvature severity, spinal mobility, trunk rotation angle, cosmetic deformity perception, back-related disability and quality of life, in order of importance. CONCLUSION In accordance with the findings of this study, which examined for the first time the determinants of pain intensity in adult individuals with Lenke type 1 IS, we suggest that mentioned possible factors affecting and determining pain should be taken into consideration when establishing evaluation and treatment programs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a questionnaire for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients undergoing physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises (PSSE) and to evaluate its content validity, structural validity, and reliability. METHODOLOGY Seven PSSE treatment experts checked the content validity of the Patient's Perception of Scoliosis-Specific Physiotherapy Questionnaire (Physio-IS). For each Physio-IS item, the content validity indexes must be ≥ 90%. Regarding structural validity and reliability 52 adolescents (ages 10-17) with AIS completed the questionnaire. Structural validity was assessed through exploratory factor analysis. Reliability was verified through internal consistency. RESULTS Physio-IS content was validated in three evaluation rounds, obtaining 100% expert agreement. About structural validity we identified four domains (cumulative explained variance = 68.2%): (1) specific knowledge (seven questions on understanding their scoliosis condition); (2) social repercussion (five questions about social relationship implications); (3) pain (two questions about scoliosis-associated pain); and (4) associated concern (apprehension/expectations regarding the future). The Physio-IS demonstrated very good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.76-0.92). CONCLUSION The Physio-IS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing AIS patients undergoing PSSE and helping physiotherapists identify aspects requiring more attention, thus facilitating intervention strategies, as knowing the patient's perception of their condition or treatment is fundamental to AIS treatment success.

Global research hotspots and trends in non-surgical treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis over the past three decades: a bibliometric and visualization study. Front Pediatr 2024; 11:1308889. [PMID: 38269292 PMCID: PMC10806138 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2023.1308889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background In recent years, research on the non-surgical treatment of AIS has been increasingly conducted. To the best of our knowledge, this field doesn't yet have a comprehensive and structured pulse combing analysis. In order to provide inspiration and resources for subsequent researchers, we thus reviewed the literature studies on the non-surgical treatment of AIS from the previous thirty years and highlighted the hotspots and frontiers of research in this field. Methods Main using Citespace 6.1 software, the data from the core dataset of the WOS database pertaining to the non-surgical management of AIS from 1990 to 2022 was gathered, displayed, and analyzed. Results 839 papers in all were included in the literature. With 215 papers, the USA came in first place. Chinese Univ Hong Kong ranked first with 32 papers. Research hotspots are adolescent idiopathic spondylitis, Schroth-based physiotherapy-specific exercise efficacy, curve development, Cobb angle, TLSO brace-based clinical efficacy, quality of life, reliability, health-related quality of life questionnaires, finite element biomechanical models, follow-up, and clinical guidelines. Conclusion There aren't many studies that compare the clinical effectiveness of various non-surgical treatments, and because of variations in inclusion eligibility standards and outcome measures, these studies cannot be directly compared. In addition, the inconsistency of existing growth potential and progression risk assessment systems further affects comparative studies of clinical efficacy; it is recommended to establish primary assessment indicators centered on patient treatment outcomes (including appearance, disability, pain, and quality of life), as well as standardized scoliosis progression risk assessment criteria.

Sci Rep 2023; 13:14273.

Abstract
Standing posteroanterior radiographs have been the golden standard to quantify the severity of scoliosis deformity. However, it exposes ionizing radiation to scoliosis patients, and cannot be used for routine screening and monitoring. This study aimed to develop a protocol of measuring postural indexes by using the noninvasive and radiation-free two-dimensional (2D) photogrammetry method and identify its clinical value in scoliosis screening and monitoring. The five postural indexes were measured from the posterior view of 110 participants. One-way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey HSD/Games-Howell analysis was used to compare the differences between the participants in the scoliosis group and the non-scoliosis group. Pearson coefficients of correlation were analyzed to identify the relationships between Cobb angles and each of the five quantitative postural indexes. Based on 2D photogrammetry, the postural indexes of C7 deviation (p = 0.02), shoulder alignment (p < 0.001), scapula alignment (p < 0.001), waist angle discrepancy (p < 0.001), and PSIS alignment (p < 0.001) could significantly differentiate scoliosis and non-scoliosis patients during screening. The waist angle discrepancy (r = 0.4, p = 0.01; r = 0.8, p = 0.03; r = 0.7, p = 0.01) and shoulder alignment (r = 0.6, p = 0.03) had moderate to strong positive correlations with the Cobb angles, which supported their clinical values in monitoring scoliotic curvature changes of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients.

Abstract
We aimed to translate and validate the Quality of Life Profile for Spine Deformities (QLPSD), an age-specific tool assessing the individuals' health-related quality of life (HRQoL), into a Chinese version for adolescent individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The Chinese version was translated from the original Spanish QLPSD following widely accepted guidelines and evaluated by both individuals with AIS and experts. 172 Chinese-speaking individuals between 9 and 18 years of age with Cobb angles between 20° and 40° were included. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and floor and ceiling effects were all analyzed. Convergent validity was evaluated by correlating the measures in the Chinese QLPSD with those in the 22-item Scoliosis Research Society Questionnaire (SRS-22). Known-groups construct validity was assessed by comparing the QLPSD scores of two groups of individuals divided by their Cobb angles. The internal consistency (total Cronbach's alpha = 0.917) and the test-retest reliability (total intra-class correlation coefficient = 0.896) were both satisfactory. The Chinese QLPSD correlated well with the SRS-22 in the total score and in relevant subscales (r = -0.572, p < 0.01). The questionnaire was able to differentiate between individuals with different Cobb angles. No floor or ceiling effects were shown in the total score, neither were there ceiling effects in the subscales, but floor effects were observed in four of the five subscales, between 20.0% and 45.7%. The Chinese version of the QLPSD shows adequate transcultural adaptation, reliability, and validity, and is useful as a clinical evaluation tool for the HRQoL of adolescent Chinese-speaking individuals with AIS.
