Abstract

This work reviews the non-invasive scoliosis assessment methods for adolescents in recent years.The purpose of this study was to investigate the non-radiological assessment methods for the treatment of scoliosis that have been studied so far, the tools, characteristics, and validity, and to discuss their advantages and disadvantages. A total of 32 literature articles were compiled on non-radiological assessment methods for scoliosis, including camera measurements, 3D body scans, Kinect-based computer vision-based postural analysis system method, and gait analysis based on cursor camera and inertial sensors.
