SagittalBalanceApp vs ScolioTrack Uso & Estadísticas

The assessment of global sagittal alignment and the compensatory mechanisms which are implicated in the spine and the spinopelvic jucture are of paramount importance for spine and joint replacement surgeon. The dynamic interplay between flexibility and balance around the axis of gravity determine the type and the amount of influence in spine and hips. Radiographic parameters to evaluate objectively the sagittal balance are Pelvic incidence (PI), Sacral slope (SS), Pelvic Tilt (PT), Lumbar lordosis (LL),Thoracic Kyphosis, C7 plumb line (C7PL) and its ratio. Drawings in patients X-rays and precise measurements are important in order to quantify the magnitude of spinal deformities, to monitor the success or failure of treatment and thus optimise the management of patients according to the severity of the imbalance. The Sagittal Balance App is medical software aimed for orthopaedic surgeons, providing tools that allow doctors to: -Securely import medical images directly from the camera or stored photos. -By marking several points at the image of X-ray, the App calculates and offers a very convenient way to determine the most accurate possibly way at once, Pelvic incidence (PI), Sacral slope (SS), Pelvic Tilt (PT), Lumbar lordosis (LL), thoracic kyphosis, C7 plumb line (C7PL), C7PLD/sfd ratio, PI–LL, theoretical normal pelvic tilt (tPT),theoretical normal L1-S1 lumbar lordosis (tL1S1), Spino-sacral angle (SSA) According to measured parameters the app categorizes the severity of the imbalance of spine, in three different stages: optimal balanced, balanced with compensatory mechanisms and imbalanced. -Save the planned images, for later review or consultation.The measured values are compared by normal reference databases and also data are exported as txt file, ready to print or to input as cells to excel for research. -The app also allows the calculations of centroids after choosing points in vertebra body in independent manner from order. All information received from the software output must be clinically reviewed regarding its plausibility before patient treatment! Sagittal Balance App indicated for assisting healthcare professionals. Clinical judgment and experience are required to properly use the software. The software is not for primary image interpretation. In a busy everyday practice, the examiner have to draw lines in X-rays or in clinical settings, this it is time consuming and cumbersome. Accessory instruments like protractors, hinged goniometers, well sharped pencils, rulers or even transparent papers must be available. The app offers a very convenient and accurate way to perform most common radiographic measurements for spine, and spinopelvic juncture in a blink of an eye in front of your screen. The build in feature of the app, allows results to be categorized may help decide what could be considered normal or pathologic. The app is not a simple goniometer, is an enhanced product which helps to monitor objectively the course of the treatment and evaluate optimally the spine. This App is particular useful especially in clinical settings where you need a quick results without losing time.

ScolioTrack

SCOLIOTRACK IS A SAFE AND INNOVATIVE WAY TO TRACK ONE'S SCOLIOSIS CONDITION ◆ Invited to Wall Street Journal 2011 Asia Innovative Awards ◆ Researched and clinically proven to work! ◆ Scoliometers usually cost $150-$300. ◆ Easy and simple to use, no medical knowledge or training needed! The device allows the user to track the progress of the abnormal spinal curves that occur in scoliosis. With the touch of an iPhone the user is easily able to track their month to month progression. This easy-to-use program is suitable for scoliosis sufferers of all ages. Its high degree of accuracy makes this application suitable for professional such as Doctors, Chiropractors or Physiotherapist and simple enough for personal use at home. The device proves much safer than x-ray technology and can be used in between doctor’s visits to track one’s individual condition. “With ScolioTrack, the patient can track the curvature in the spine from month to month by using the iPhone accelerometer, just as a doctor would with a scoliometer,” said Dr. Lau. “A scoliometer is a device that measures objectively the severity of a scoliosis. And so it is with ScolioTrack.” The technology tracks the patient’s Angle of Trunk Rotation (ATR), which is a key measurement in screening and planning for the Health In Your Hands approach to scoliosis treatment. ScolioTrack also tracks a person’s height, weight and photo record of a persons back, both beneficial for growing teenagers or health-conscious adults with scoliosis. ScolioTrack saves all the information in one convenient location and provides touch of the finger retrieval for future checkups. An easy-to-read display shows data output in graph format for ease of tracking changes over time and the new technology is capable of saving and tracking the data of multiple users. With ScolioTrack’s access to the latest breaking news regarding the condition, and its user-friendly support guides, patients can gain an effortless handle on their disorder. FEATURES OF PROGRAM: • Simple, attractive, elegant interface. • Safer and more affordable than x-rays. • Can be used with multiple users and saves their data conveniently on the iPhone for future reference. • Tracks and saves a person’s Scoliosis Angle (ATR), a key measurement in screening for and planning treatment of scoliosis. • Tracks a person’s height and weight, ideal for growing teenagers with scoliosis or adults who are health conscious. • Check your results and Scoliosis changes in beautiful history graph. • Camera function takes a photo of the person’s back to notice any changes to the back visually such as rib humps, hip protrusion, body alignment or spinal deviation and compare it easily with previous photo records. • Displays the latest news feed on scoliosis to keep users informed and up-to-date. • Comprehensive database of frequently asked questions about scoliosis. • Full help and easy to follow guides so anyone can track their scoliosis in the comfort of their own home. ----------------------------------- ABOUT DR KEVIN LAU Dr. Kevin Lau's ScolioTrack is one element of his comprehensive "Health In Your Hands" series for a natural, non-surgical, highly effective and proven method for reversing scoliosis.
