Thanks for this information. I found this very simple and easy to understand. Can you make a video also for measuring a Cobb's angle in xray? Thank you 😊
If there is more than 7 degree of rotation show on the scoliometer, then it may correlate to having structural scoliosis. An Xray shows the front/back view and if the curve on an Xray is greater than 10 degrees, then there is likely a scoliotic curve present. From 2016 SOSORT Guidelines (link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s13013-017-0145-8) "The Scoliometer [372, 373] measures the hump appearing as a consequence of the Adam’s test: it is an evaluation tool that has proven highly useful. The Scoliometer measures the angle of trunk inclination (ATI, or ATR-Angle of Trunk Rotation) and has a high inter-observer reproducibility, which permits the determination of cut-off points above which a radiographic study is indicated. It has a sensitivity of about 100% and a specificity of about 47% when an ATI angle of 5° is chosen. At an ATI angle of 7°, sensitivity drops to 83% but specificity rises to 86% [19, 374, 375]. Coehlo et al. showed that the correlation between the scoliometer measurements and radiograph analyses was good (r = 0.7, p
These videos are so awesome!! Great work Andrea & team!
Thanks Emma - so kind of you! Let us know if you have any other requests on content :)

Yes we actually have that one lined up!
Thank you. I'm looking forward for that one 😊
Well done! Thank you! One suggestion to add - how should this be documented? Give us an example.
“Angle of trunk rotation: 8 degrees to the right in the mid thoracic region”
Hi! How do you document the results? How do you write if the result was deviant?
It will say something like "Scoliometer measurement shows 7° of rotation to the right in mid-thoracic spine"
Thanks for this..very helpful
Great to hear, let us know what else you might want to learn about.
Lovely.
Great!
❤❤ thanks for information
You're welcome 😊
mam it is said that more than 7 degree is scoliosis , please provide some reference book or journal for this statement
Who writes 7 degree? In general less than 20 degree is not in need of treatment without symptoms. You needs an x ray taken to measure

Adoms forward bending test ❤
Hope the video helps!
