Lead Sponsor:

Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven

Conditions:

Spinal Deformity

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-79 years

Phase:

NA

Brief Summary

Develop reliable methods for functional assessment, for trunk strength, of Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) patients and create a first clinical and normative database 1. Compare functionality of ASD and...

Detailed Description

The overall aim of the project is to initiate the shift from 2D to 3D mechanically correct and dynamically informed decision-making in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), by identifying and integra...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion criteria pathological subjects:

  1. Adult (>18 years old) subjects suffering from a adult spinal deformity with sagittal or coronal plane misalignment diagnosed on EOS imaging.
  2. Ability to walk at least 50 meters distance independently without a walking aid.
  3. No documented neurological disease or vestibular lesion affecting balance nor a current history of musculoskeletal disorders of the lower extremities affecting motor performance.

Inclusion criteria control group:

  1. Adults (> 18 year old)
  2. No current history of back pain and spinal deformity.
  3. Ability to walk at least 1000 meters distance independently without a walking aid.
  4. No documented neurological disease or vestibular lesion affecting balance nor a current history of musculoskeletal disorders of the lower extremities affecting motor performance.

Exclusion criteria ASD patients:

  2. Absence of adult spinal deformity
  3. Non-ability to walk at least 50 meters distance independently, with or without a walking aid.

  6. Patients with a history of spinal fusion surgery.
  7. Patients with a current history of diagnosed musculoskeletal disorders of the trunk and/or lower extremities affecting the motor performance such as severe hip arthrosis with or without flexion contracture, severe knee arthrosis, severe ankle arthrosis, severe leg length discrepancy (> 3 cm)

Exclusion criteria control group:

  5. Missing patient informed consent
  6. Patients presenting with a neurological disease affecting balance such as Stroke, Parkinson's disease and/or Vestibular lesion
  7. Patients with a current history of diagnosed musculoskeletal disorders of the trunk and/or lower extremities affecting the motor performance such as severe hip arthrosis with or without flexion contracture, severe knee arthrosis, severe ankle arthrosis, severe leg length discrepancy (> 3 cm)
