This study aimed to investigate the effects of bracing on apical vertebral derotation and explore the factors that influence in-brace derotation effects in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. For patients with AIS, vertebral rotation causes cosmetic appearance abnormalities and acts as an indicator for curve progression. However, there have been few studies investigating the precise derotation effects of bracing for apical vertebra. The application of EOS imaging system enables quantitative evaluation of vertebral rotation in the axial plane in a standing position.
The findings showed that a satisfactory apical vertebral derotation rate (approximately 50%) could be obtained immediately after bracing in AIS patients. Pre-brace Cobb angle of curve, pre-brace apical vertebral rotation, apical vertebral level and coronal balance exhibited close associations with in-brace derotation effects of apical vertebra.

Is the spine put at risk by long periods of sitting at the desk?

The sitting position has similar effects in children as it does in adults, but in children, they are more marked. The spine is not designed to remain in the sitting position for long periods of time, in other words, in a forward-bent position, which is a reversal of the normal curvature of the lower back (lordosis).
This position stresses the spine, causing discomfort that needs to be relieved through frequent changes of position; this is necessary to avoid both minor damage and even actual “asphyxia” due to impaired supply of oxygen to the spinal cord.

Lower limbs can play a major compensating role for sagittal malalignment; however, little is known about the different types of compensation. This study aimed to identify different patterns of lower limb compensation and to determine which parameters may affect the recruitment of knee flexion versus hip extension.
Cluster analysis determined four types of lower limb compensation:"Recliners" using only hip extension, "Squatters" using only knee flexion,"Mixed compensators" and "No compensators". Lower limb compensatory mechanisms recruitment is multifactorial and varies with age, s*x, BMI, frailty, knee and hip OA, pelvic incidence, and spinal alignment.

While the primary goal of treating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is curve correction, long-term psychological and s*xual outcomes are rarely examined. This systematic review aimed to evaluate whether bracing or surgical treatment affects s*xual health, body image, and psychological well-being compared to healthy controls.
The findings showed that AIS treatment may influence long-term s*xual and psychological health, particularly among brace-treated patients.

Scoliosis: can I face multiple pregnancies?

Just as it is not true that those who have scoliosis cannot have children, it is also not true that those who have scoliosis can have only one.
Scientific studies do not relate pregnancies to worsening scoliosis in adulthood; therefore, there is no reason to avoid multiple pregnancies if this is the desire.
It is advisable, in any case, to consult an expert in spinal deformities who keeps the scoliosis curves monitored and who invites, if necessary, to undertake a path with specific exercises to give the back greater strength in the critical period that follows childbirth.

Scoliosis and height: how much does spinal curvature affect stature?

One of the most frequently asked questions regarding scoliosis concerns loss of height: “My daughter has a 40° scoliosis… does that mean she is shorter than she would otherwise be?”
The answer is not straightforward. Reduction in stature associated with scoliosis does not depend solely on the angle of the curve; it is influenced by a range of structural and morphological characteristics of the spine .

Evolutionary changes in human rib cage morphology rendered it prone to pathologies like Scheuermann's kyphosis. However, the impact of SK on rib cage morphology is unclear.
This study, aiming to examine differences in rib cage morphology between SK patients and a control group, found that SK affects the morphology of the entire thorax and changes rib proportions similarly in males and females. These changes might have a role in bipedal stability and locomotion efficiency. Moreover, understanding the unique anatomy of SK patients is essential when performing an anterior release and anterior fusion operative approach. Finally, it provides insights into respiratory complications and poor prognosis related to individuals suffering from severe hyperkyphosis.

Debunking recurring myths: "I'm overweight, that's why I get back pain!"

Not necessarily. Being overweight is not a direct cause of low back pain or sciatica, and weight loss that is achieved solely by restricting your diet may not have any effect on your pain; on the contrary, in some cases it can even cause low back pain that wasn’t there before.
Cutting calories, if that is all you do, will certainly result in a loss of “fat mass”, but also of “lean mass”.
There is no doubt that following a balanced diet and maintaining a healthy weight is important for overall health (reducing cardiovascular risk, improving mood, and so on), but to prevent or treat back pain, it is essential to do specific exercises, as prescribed by your doctor and physiotherapist, to strengthen your trunk muscles.
