Abstract
Integrating functional evaluation of adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients is an integral component of clinical evaluation. While the spine community has acknowledged its significance, functional assessment is often absent in academic research due to standardization challenges. This review aims to outline diverse modalities for ASD functional assessment, ranging from simple to complex methods available only in dedicated laboratories. Addressing this gap will enhance our understanding of ASD's functional impact and guides improved research and patient care.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Spine Surgery is a continuing source of current, clinical information for practicing surgeons. Under the direction of a specially selected guest editor, each issue addresses a single topic in the management and care of patients. Topics covered in each issue include basic anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, management options and follow-up of the condition under consideration. The journal also features "Spinescope," a special section providing summaries of articles from other journals that are of relevance to the understanding of ongoing research related to the treatment of spinal disorders.
