Background: Scoliosis is defined as lateral curvature of the spine which is also associated
with a change in the curves in sagittal plane and vertebral rotation. Various types of …

Background: Chronic back pain is a major health problem worldwide. Although its causes
can be diverse, biomechanical factors leading to spinal degeneration are considered a …

Introduction Scoliosis is a complex spinal deformity whose etiology is still unknown, and its
treatment presents many challenges. Finite element modeling (FEM) is one of the analytical …

As part of the development of new modelling tools for the simulation and design of brace
treatment of scoliosis, a finite element model of a brace and its interface with the torso was …

Three-dimensional models of the spine are extremely important to the assessment of spinal
deformities. However, it could be difficult in practical situations to obtain enough accurate …

Background The efficiency of the braces designed for scoliotic subjects depends on
configurations and also magnitudes of the forces used to stabilize and correct scoliotic …
