Abstract:
Objective To characterize the spinal motion of 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF) under the fulcrum bending in Lenke type 1 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients using 3D image volume fusion technique.Methods Ten volunteers with Lenke type 1 AIS were examined by the Gemstone Spectral Imaging to obtain their T1-S1 vertebral morphological data in the supine position and fulcrum bending position.With the computer software,images of 2 different positions were fused with the 3D image to obtain in vivo kinematics data of each vertebral body in the target area.Results In the apical vertebrae (AV) region,the main range of motion in the fulcrum bending position ranged from-2.57°± 0.95° to-1.37°± 0.65°,showing significant differences between segments (P ＜ 0.05);along the vertical axis the coupling rotation ranged from-2.71° ± 0.48° to-1.27° ± 0.49°;along the coronal axis,the coupling flexion and extension ranged from 0.19° ± 0.85° to 1.51° ± 0.42°.In the upper end vertebrae (UEV) area,the main ROM ranged from-2.20° ± 1.13° to-1.91° ± 0.76°,showing no significant differences between the 3 segments (P ＞ 0.05);along the vertical axis,coupling rotation ranged from 0.18°±0.47° to 1.35°±0.52°;along the coronal axis,coupling flexion and extension ranged from 1.62° ± 0.41° to 2.07° ± 0.37°.In the lower end vertebrae (LEV) region,the main movement ranged from-0.79°± 0.63° to 0.73°± 1.09°,showing significant differences between the 3 segments (P ＜ 0.05);along the vertical axis,the coupling rotation ranged from-1.62°± 1.05° to-0.60°± 0.60°;along the coronal axis,the coupling flexion extension ranged from -1.41° ± 0.87° to-0.75° ± 0.66°.Conclusionts In the fulcrum bending position,Lenke type 1 AIS shows a unique motion and coupling mechanism in the spine.The coupling rotational movement in the UEV region is at the same side as the lateral flexion movement.The coupling rotational motion in the AV and LEV regions is opposite the lateral flexion movement.
