Patients' Arm Positioning in the EOS® Stereoradiography System: Study the Sagittal Spinal Parameters and Postural Balance in EOS® Full Spine X-rays in Scoliosis
In Brief
An observational study evaluating EOS® imaging system for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Completed, enrolled 37 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The EOS® imaging system, a new imaging modality which offers low dose, weight bearing and full body X-ray imaging, requires a new standing position where patients put their hands and forearms on the wall vertically for stability. Although this method provides enough support for the patients during the extended X-ray acquisition time, its impact on the postural balance and sagittal profile of the spine and sacro-pelvic parameters has not been evaluated. The goal of this study is to identify the impact of patients' arm positioning on the sagittal profile and postural balance of the patient and subsequently propose a standardized method for full spine X-ray acquisition in the EOS® imaging system.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The EOS® imaging system is a low dose, 3-dimensional imaging system that provides weight bearing images which provide visual information with respect to the interaction between the joints and the rest of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine, hips and legs. The imaging system is used for clinical purposes with additional images captured as part of this study to collect data from subjects in two different arm positions during imaging.
