Study of Walk in Patients With Pelvic Fixation

Completed
Conditions
Scoliosis
Registration Number
NCT03434184
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of double end spinal instrumentation from the upper thoracic to the pelvis with sacro-iliac fixation on the gait of ambulating patients with pelvic obliquity 6 month after surgery.

Detailed Description

The pelvic fixations were used since many years for these patients. However there are no prospective study investigating the gait evolution before and after a surgical treatment by long spinal instrumentation with pelvic fixation.

Investigators are planning to analyze the gait, before and 6 months after surgery. Investigators will use 2 qualitative criterions with a gait analysis and a walking test, and 1 quantitative criterion with a questionnaire assessing the patient's functional change. Investigators will use as surgical treatment a long double end spinal fixation without fusion, investigators use an ilio sacral screw as pelvic anchor on each side.

Evaluation of changes in gait after pelvic fixation of a long spinal instrumentation will make it possible to extend or, on the contrary, restrict the indications for pelvic fixation surgery in walking patients, who are candidates for pelvic fixation.

Change in the score of CPCHILD (section 2) questionnaire from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery

to assess the quality criteria of walk

Change in Clinical Gait Analysis from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery

to assess the quantitative criteria of walk

Change in 6-minute walking test from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery

to assess the quantitative criteria of walk

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in "holding of the head " of scoliosis : from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery

to evaluate the good or bad prognosis for walking

presence / absence of cardiac impairment6 months before spinal surgery

cardiac evaluation to evaluate assess if cardiac impairment before spinal surgery is a the good or bad prognosis for walking

presence / absence of neurological impairment6 months before spinal surgery

neurological evaluation to assess if neurology impairment before spinal surgery is a good or bad prognosis for walking

Change in imbalance of scoliosis from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery

to evaluate the good or bad prognosis for walking

presence / absence of respiratory impairment6 months before spinal surgery

pulmonary evaluation to assess if respiratory impairment before spinal surgery is a good or bad prognosis for walking

Change in curvature of scoliosis from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery

to evaluate the good or bad prognosis for walking

Change in reducibility of scoliosis from 6 months before spinal surgery at 6 month after spinal surgery6 months before and 6 months after spinal surgery

to evaluate the good or bad prognosis for walking
