Three-Dimensional Posture Analysis-Based Modifications After Manual Therapy: A Preliminary Study

Background/Objectives: Manual therapies like Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and Gentle Touch Intervention (GTI) are widely employed for improving posture and spinal alignment, but their effects as measured using advanced technologies remain underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the short-term postural effects of these interventions using a non-invasive three-dimensional rasterstereography-based approach, focusing on the cervical arrow, lumbar …

Spine3d and Its Reliability in Evalution of Deformity in Patients with Idiopathic Scoliolic

Abstract Idiopathic scoliosis is a complicated orthopedic disorder marked by a side-to-side curvature of the spine, the cause of which is unknown and it predominantly affects children and adolescents. The Cobb angle is the conventional technique for evaluating the severity of scoliosis through X-rays; however, it has limitations, including inter and intra-observer variability that can …

Spine3d: Evaluation of Deformity in Patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Case Series

Abstract Idiopathic scoliosis is a complex orthopedic condition marked by a lateral spinal curvature, typically affecting children and adolescents. The Cobb angle is a key metric for evaluating scoliosis severity through X-rays, but its measurement can suffer from variability due to imaging quality, positioning and physician experience, with an acceptable range of variation up to …

LiDAR and X-ray: A Retrospective Comparison of Spinal Alignment

ABSTRACT: The study explores the potential of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology as a non-invasive alternative for measuting spinal alignment, particularly focusing on the correlation between LiDAR generated data and traditional X-ray measurements. The research involved 275 patients who underwent both full spine X-rays and LiDAR scans. The study compared measurements of Cobb angle, …

Effects of Cycling on Spine: A Case-Control Study Using a 3D Scanning Method

Background: Few studies have investigated the effects of adopting a specific and prolonged posture on cyclists. This study aimed to evaluate the upright spine in a sample of recreational cyclists and compare it with a sample of non-cyclists, though still athletes, through a 3D scanning method. Methods: Forty-eight participants were enrolled in this observational study. …

Thermography and rasterstereography as a combined infrared method to assess the posture of healthy individuals

Thermography and rasterstereography as a combined infrared method to assess the posture of healthy individuals Roggio, F., Petrigna, L., Trovato, B. et al. Sci Rep 13, 4263 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-31491-1 Sistema utilizzato: Spine3D The demand for noninvasive methods to assess postural defections is increasing because back alterations are more common among the healthy population. We propose a combined …

The effect of oxygen-ozone treatment on posture

Abstract: The way we step, the functioning of the oculomotor muscles, the dental occlusion and the mobility of the temporomandibular joint influence our posture and balance. A dysfunction at one of these levels or the presence of skin scars affects the kinematic chain of movement, generating muscle contractions, decreased joint mobility, vertebral static disorders and, …

Acute Effects of Self-Correction on Spine Deviation and Balance in Adolescent Girls with Idiopathic Scoliosis

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of spine and trunk with a higher incidence in girls. AIS alters and reduces postural control and balance. Self-correction movement (SCM) is a well-known non-invasive approach to ameliorate spine curve in AIS subjects. Study design and Participants: We conducted an observational study. A total of 38 …

Kinesiological Treatment of Early Spine Osteoarthritis in a Motorcyclist

Background: This case report speculates that the prolonged vibrations from enduro off-road sports are deleterious to the spine. The results of this case report may also aid sports physicians in better understanding this complex and relatively unknown phenomenon. No published data are present in the current literature that demonstrate the correlation between early spine osteoarthritis …
