Study Overview
Brief Summary
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal deformity affecting adolescent health, and early diagnosis and accurate assessment are crucial for preventing disease progression. Traditional assessment indicators, such as the trunk rotation angle (ATR) and Cobb angle, rely on clinical examinations and X-ray imaging, which have certain limitations, including radiation exposure and insufficient sensitivity. The Back Height Difference (BHD), as a quantitative measure of the back surface morphology, may reflect the degree of trunk deformity caused by scoliosis.
The use of the Kinect v2 depth camera to capture three-dimensional point cloud data of the back provides a high-precision, radiation-free assessment method.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Back height difference
Time Frame: Day 1 of Admission
Using depth cameras to acquire back data, point cloud processing algorithms analyze the information. The height difference between the highest point on the convex side and the corresponding point on the concave side is measured, with three repetitions taken to calculate the average value.
Secondary Outcomes
- Angle of trunk rotation(Day 1 of Admission)
