Generalized Net Model of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Diagnosing

Of the many postural disorders commonly found in the population, scoliosis is the most complex and the most difficult to diagnose and treat. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis affects 2% to 4% of adolescent population. Although most of those patients will not develop clinical symptoms, scoliosis can progress to rib deformity and respiratory compromise, and can cause significant cosmetic problems and emotional distress for some patients. Accordingly, early detection is the key factor to prevent the curve magnitude progress, as well as to ensure an appropriate and successful treatment. Proper diagnosis is extremely important for designing a coordinated exercise programs and reliable monitoring progress during treatment. The purpose of the present study is to present a successful example of Generalized Nets application in orthopedics and to propose a novel approach to timely detection of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and its categorization.
