3D Imaging Assessment of Scoliosis: Back Height Difference vs. Trunk Rotation Angle

October 13, 2024 updated by: The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University

Assessment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Based on 3D Imaging With Depth Cameras: A Comparative Study of Back Height Difference and Angle of Trunk Rotation

This study focuses on adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis, employing 3D imaging technology with depth cameras to measure back height difference (BHD) and angle of trunk rotation (ATR) before and after conventional treatments such as massage, exercise therapy, and bracing. Statistical analyses are conducted to verify the correlation between BHD and ATR and to assess the sensitivity of BHD in evaluating short-term treatment effectiveness.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Back height difference
Time Frame: Day 1 of Admission and Day 5 of Admission
Using depth cameras to acquire back data, point cloud processing algorithms analyze the information. The height difference between the highest point on the convex side and the corresponding point on the concave side is measured, with three repetitions taken to calculate the average value.
Day 1 of Admission and Day 5 of Admission

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Angle of trunk rotation
Time Frame: Day 1 of Admission and Day 5 of Admission
A scoliometer is used to measure the patient's angle of trunk rotation (ATR). Measurements are repeated three times, and the average value is taken.
Day 1 of Admission and Day 5 of Admission
