This Cross-sectional Study Investigates the Relationship Between Different Curve Patterns in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) and the Distribution of Foot Pressure. It Aims to Determine Whether Coronal and Sagittal Curve Patterns Are Associated With Asymmetries in Plantar Pressure Distribution

Summary

This cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between different curve patterns in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) and the distribution of foot pressure. It aims to determine whether coronal and sagittal curve patterns are associated with asymmetries in plantar pressure distribution during static standing.

Detailed description

Study Objectives Primary Objective: To assess the correlation between curve pattern and foot pressure percentage in the coronal plane. Secondary Objective: To assess the correlation between curve pattern and foot pressure percentage in the sagittal plane. Study Design Type: Observational (Cross-sectional) Model: two Group Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional Statistical Analysis: Pearson correlation coefficient will be used to determine the strength and direction of the relationship.

Conditions

• Scoliosis Idiopathic

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Foot pressure Distribution test	This study is observational and does not involve any therapeutic or experimental intervention. Participants will be divided into two groups based on their scoliosis curve pattern: Group 1: Adolescents with a major thoracic curve. Group 2: Adolescents with a major lumbar curve. Each participant will undergo non-invasive assessments including: Baropodometric foot pressure analysis during static standing to evaluate pressure distribution in both coronal and sagittal planes. Radiographic evaluation to classify curve patterns using Cobb's angle, Central Sacral Vertical Line, and Plumb Line.
