| Abstract | Scoliosis is not only a spinal deformity, but also leads to the development of a pathological gait pattern. Nearly all studies examining walking in scoliotic patients report some degree of gait abnormality, however the results are somewhat contradictory. Therefore the aim of this study is to explore the relationship between gait pathology and degree of scoliotic deformity in a group of patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Sixty three females with idiopathic scoliosis, aged between 12 and 17 participated in the study. They were not treated previously, neither surgically, nor conservatively. They underwent objective gait analysis with a VICON 460 system. Data for the following parameters were analysed: gait velocity, cadence, step length, pelvic tilt, pelvic retraction, pelvic range of motion in the transverse plane, pelvic obliquity, hip and knee range of motion in the sagittal plane, knee flexion at initial contact, ankle dorsiflexion in swing, foot progression angle. Additionally a Gillette Gait Index (GGI) was calculated. Prior to the gait analysis all patients underwent a clinical examination, an X-ray, clinical tests and anthropometric measurements. In conclusion our results indicate that the gait pathology of the patients with idiopathic thoraco-lumbar (i.e. double curve) scoliosis depends on the severity of the spinal deformity and the type of pelvic deformity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
