The purpose of this study was to compare roentgenography and moiré topography for identification, treatment, and prevention of scoliosis at an early age. Moiré topography was used as an assessment tool for the quantitative examination of 12 children with mild-to-moderate scoliosis receiving physical therapy during a three-month period. Each child's roentgenogram also was analyzed independently by orthopedic physicians and radiologists using the Cobb method of measuring spinal curvature. Rho correlations of Cobb angles and the spinal curvature angles based on moiré photographs taken at weeks 4, 8, and 12 were found to be +.94, +.96, and +.93, respectively. The moiré method, thus, may be used as an available, inexpensive, and easily interpreted diagnostic and treatment tool in physical therapy.
本研究的目的是比较X线摄影术和云纹图法在早期识别、治疗和预防脊柱侧弯方面的效果。云纹图法被用作一种评估工具，对12名在三个月期间接受物理治疗的轻至中度脊柱侧弯儿童进行定量检查。同时，骨科医生和放射科医生也使用Cobb测量脊柱曲率的方法，对每个儿童的X线照片进行独立分析。结果发现，在第4周、第8周和第12周拍摄的云纹照片上，Cobb角与脊柱曲率角的Rho相关性分别为+.94、+.96和+.93。因此，云纹图法可作为物理治疗中一种可用、廉价且易于解读的诊断和治疗工具。
