ADOLESCENT IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS: EVIDENCE-BASED CLINICAL ASSESSMENT AND EXAMINATION
Course Overview
Chapters & Learning Objectives
CHAPTER-1: COURSE OBJECTIVES AND CLINICAL SCREENING OF ADOLESCENT IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS (AIS)
: 00:05 Hour
This chapter outlines the primary goals of the course while emphasizing the importance of effective clinical screening. This chapter will cover the key objectives, including understanding the prevalence and implications of AIS, as well as the necessary assessment techniques for early detection.This foundational knowledge sets the stage for comprehensive exploration of AIS throughout the course.
CHAPTER-2: CLINICAL ASSESSMENT TOOLS FOR AIS
: 00:13 Hour
This section provides an overview of essential methodologies for evaluating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It covers clinical and imaging techniques, including physical examination protocols, scoliometer use, and radiographic assessment.Emphasizing evidence-based practices, this content equips clinicians with the knowledge needed to enhance their assessment skills and improve patient care.
CHAPTER 3: CLINICAL EXAMINATION
: 00:09 Hour
This chapter focuses on the clinical examination process for assessing adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It outlines key physical assessment techniques, including postural evaluation, range of motion tests, and specific maneuvers to identify scoliosis curvature.he section highlights the importance of a systematic approach to ensure accurate assessment and effective monitoring of scoliosis in adolescents.
CHAPTER 4: X-RAY EVALUATION AND CLASSIFICATION
: 00:05 Hour
This section covers the x-ray evaluation and classification of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It details the importance of radiographic assessment in diagnosing and monitoring scoliosis.Participants will learn about the different classification systems used to categorize curvature severity, such as Cobb angle measurements and curve patterns.
CHAPTER 5- RADIOLOGICAL EVALUATION (COBB’S ANGLE)
: 00:11 Hour
This section focuses on radiological evaluation using Cobb's angle to assess adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It explains the methodology for measuring spinal curvature on x-rays and emphasizes the significance of Cobb's angle in determining the severity of scoliosis.
CHAPTER 6: CLINICAL EXAMINATION CONCLUSION
: 00:02 Hour
This conclusion summarizes the key findings and insights from the clinical examination process for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It highlights the importance of thorough physical assessments and their role in early detection and monitoring.
