While mild cases may have compensatory mechanisms, severe deformities necessitate treatment. Surgery with instrumentation effectively corrects deformities, but complications are common.

The primary objective is to assess the practical implementation, measurement capability, and resources required for motion analysis.

Severe deformities can be highly debilitating, necessitating treatments. Surgery using instrumentation, such as pedicle screws, rods, and cages, can effectively correct adult spine deformities. However, complications and failures are common.\n\nPrecise pre-operative planning based on standing X-rays is crucial before attempting correction. Radiographic parameters, including pelvic incidence (PI), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), lumbar lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, coronal Cobb angles, and vertebral rotation, are measured to evaluate the patient's standing posture and compensatory mechanisms.\n\nLimitations in traditional radiological imaging for spinal alignment assessment include ionizing radiation exposure and lack of information on dynamic spine responses during various activities. To address these limitations, marker-based optoelectronic motion analysis systems have been proposed to characterize dynamic spinal alignment and movement during different activities. This technology has shown promise in assessing spinal curvature changes reliably.\n\nThis research aims to investigate the feasibility of using optoelectronic motion analysis systems to characterize spinal alignment and balance in patients with adult spine deformity. The primary objective is to assess the practical implementation, measurement capability, and resources required for motion analysis. Secondary objectives include exploring potential strategies to compensate for errors in absolute spinal curvature assessment due to markers on soft tissue.\n\nThe study will recruit 20 patients seeking medical attention for adult spine deformities (divided into non-operated and operated subgroups) and 10 healthy controls. Participants will undergo biplanar imaging and motion analysis to capture static and dynamic spine alignment during various activities. The data obtained will be used to build patient-specific musculoskeletal models, offering potential insights into improving surgical planning for adult spine deformities.\n\nThe findings of this study may lead to advancements in understanding spinal deformities and help in developing personalized treatment strategies to improve outcomes for patients suffering from adult spine deformities."}, "eligibilityModule"=>{"sex"=>"ALL", "stdAges"=>["ADULT", "OLDER_ADULT"], "maximumAge"=>"75 years", "minimumAge"=>"18 years", "healthyVolunteers"=>true, "eligibilityCriteria"=>"Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* both male and female subjects\n* BMI \\< 30 kg/m2\n* cognitively intact\n* degenerative spinal deformity presenting with at least one criterion:\n\n * Coronal Cobb angle ≥20°\n * sagittal vertical axis (SVA) ≥5 cm\n * thoracic kyphosis (TK) ≥60°\n * pelvic tilt (PT) ≥25°.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* age under 18 years or over 75 years\n* any prior spinal surgery or other musculoskeletal surgery having an impact on movement\n* pregnancy\n* inability to perform the planned set of daily activities\n* inability to give consent."}, "identificationModule"=>{"nctId"=>"NCT06223737", "briefTitle"=>"Spine Deformity Patients With Optoelectronic Motion Capture", "organization"=>{"class"=>"OTHER", "fullName"=>"Schulthess Klinik"}, "officialTitle"=>"Characterization of Patients Suffering From Adult Spine Deformities With Optoelectronic Motion Analysis", "orgStudyIdInfo"=>{"id"=>"SHPL_Def_00782"}}, "armsInterventionsModule"=>{"armGroups"=>[{"type"=>"ACTIVE_COMPARATOR", "label"=>"patients non-operated", "description"=>"Each patient will be measured for an EOS x-ray and at the human performance lab at the clinic for optoelectronic motion capture of the spinal movements.", "interventionNames"=>["Diagnostic Test: EOS x-ray", "Diagnostic Test: Motion capture"]}, {"type"=>"ACTIVE_COMPARATOR", "label"=>"patients operated", "description"=>"Each patient will be measured for an EOS x-ray and at the human performance lab at the clinic for optoelectronic motion capture of the spinal movement", "interventionNames"=>["Diagnostic Test: EOS x-ray", "Diagnostic Test: Motion capture"]}, {"type"=>"OTHER", "label"=>"healthy controls", "description"=>"Each participant will be measured as control group for an EOS x-ray and at the human performance lab at the clinic for optoelectronic motion capture of the spinal movement", "interventionNames"=>["Diagnostic Test: EOS x-ray", "Diagnostic Test: Motion capture"]}], "interventions"=>[{"name"=>"EOS x-ray", "type"=>"DIAGNOSTIC_TEST", "description"=>"After marking the anatomical landmarks where later on skin markers will be placed, radiopaque markers are attached for the radiographic examination with the EOS system.
