What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis using 3D imaging technology with depth cameras to measure back height difference (BHD) and angle of trunk rotation (ATR). The study aims to compare these measurements before and after conventional treatments such as massage, exercise therapy, and bracing. Statistical analysis will be used to explore the relationship between BHD and ATR and to assess how well BHD detects short-term treatment changes. The study involves a short-term inpatient period of 5 days during which participants receive tailored exercises guided by X-ray mapping, including 3D therapy, breathing techniques, and spinal manipulation known as Tuina. Measurements of BHD and ATR are taken on the first and fifth days of admission to evaluate changes with treatment. Participants will undergo assessments of back height difference and trunk rotation angle at admission and after 5 days of treatment. Researchers will monitor these physical changes to understand treatment effects. The trial is observational and involves adolescents aged 10 to 18 years diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis. The total participation lasts for the 5-day inpatient treatment period.
