Background and aims:
The study presents a new way of assessing the patient with spinal static disorder revealing the poor podal support and looks for a corresponding for the correlation between surface curvatures and podal support. The evaluation of this support can be an element of prophylaxis, evolution and therapy of scoliosis.
Our objectives are:
-the analysis of the plantar support during three admission in hospital (with and without Cheneau corset )
- establishing an appropriate therapeutic plan using the software of footscan Balance7 device
-adaptation of kinetic procedures based on the results of testing
Material and methods:
Our sudied group includes 86 patients with scoliosis ( 44 girls, 42 boys, ages between 5-18 years old) admitted in the Pediatric Neuropsychomotor Rehabilitation Center ”Dr.N .Robanescu”, Bucharest from begginning of 2013 (the study still continues with a extented number of patients). Patients were tested for plantar support with Footsacan 2 and 7 gait generation device and received physiotherapy (Klapp methods, Cotrell, Schroth), massage, respiratory gym , Cheneau corset.
Results:
The analysis of the plantar support shows that body weight in children with scoliosis is distributed unequal of lower limbs, focusing on the member of the primary curvature.
The plantar support of the evaluated patients is changed in orthostatic position (without a previous diagnosis of podal pathology) as a part of the clinical presentation of scoliosis.
The studied group shows plantar changes associated with column deviation.
The device emphasizes the improving of weight distribution problems and pressures in static and walking in patients who wear the Cheneau Corset.
Preliminary conclusions:
Evaluation of patients with scoliosis with Footsacan 2 and 7 gait generation device contributes to complete the kinetic treatment and provides a new perspective in the therapy of the scoliosis.
