Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Back height difference

  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.

  Day 1 of Admission and Day 5 of Admission

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Angle of trunk rotation

  Day 1 of Admission and Day 5 of Admission

Procedure: Tuina

Interventions

Tuina PROCEDURE

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

Study Population

This study focuses on adolescents aged 10-18 diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, defined by a Cobb angle of ≥10°.

You may qualify if:

• (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.

You may not qualify if:

• (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.
