| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Spinal scoliosis is defined as spinal deformity which has lateral curvature as well as axial rotation. Spinal deformity appears as shoulder inbalance, rib hump, waist line asymmetry, and so on. In this study, we investigated body surface deformation using a three dimensional analysis method. We aslo showed that spinal rotation correction after brace treatment can influence on prognosis in scoliosis. Asymmetry of neurocentral junctions was associated with pedicle asymmetry. We hypothesize that asymmetrical growth of neurocentral junction causes the pedicle asymmetry followed by vertebral rotation and scoliosis.
