Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the correlation between Cobb’s angle and digital infrared thermographic imaging(DITI) on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Methods: A total of 56 patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were classified into four groups according to their Cobb’s angle. Four groups were made for each increment of 5°: group 5?10°, group 11?15°, group 16?20°, and group 21?25°. Next we checked thermal differences of 6 acupoints(GB21, BL13, BL15, BL20, BL23, BL26) on DITI and analyzed correlation by SPSS ver. 20.0.0 for windows.
Results:
1.The average patient age was approximately 13 years old.
2.The majority of patients complained of pain on both sides.
3.Significant correlation was found between group 11?15° an group 16?20°, group 16?20° and group 21?25° on Simsu(BL15) by Duncan test.
Conclusion: Using DITI, Simsu(BL15) is expected to be a valid indicator for the diagnosis and treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
