Abstract

This study understood measured items of significantly difference through the surface topographical comparison of dorsal trunk's surface between normal and scoliosis subjects. 300 subjects for this study were participated (middle, high school and college students). Normal 28(males 12, females 16) and scoliosis subjects 16(males 4, females 12) were chosen by assessment tools (physical examination, 3D-surface topography) among subjects at Dongshin University Oriental Hospital. The results were as follow: 1. It was shown that the significantly difference was observed by distance of peak to curve with scoliosis between two groups(p<0.001). 2. It was shown that top difference of between groups in anterior-posterior view was the significantly difference at cervicothoracic, thoracic, thoracolumbar and dorsal part of lumbar(p<0.001). These results suggest that method to use 3D-surface topography measurement would be useful diagnosis method and clinical use of physical therapy.
