It is implied that orthoses have a great potential as a treatment for SFFF. Thorough comprehension of the literature evidence, as well as composition of supplementary studies of larger pediatric populations is essential in order to reach a consensus on the use of foot orthotics (FOs) by children SFFF.展开更多

背景:脊柱侧弯主要指脊柱冠状位、矢状位和轴位上的序列异常,且Cobb角≥10°。脊柱侧弯患者会出现双肩不等高、背部不对称等症状,严重者可能会影响患者心肺功能,从而影响患者的日常生活。保守治疗可以控制其侧凸进展,避免后期手术...背景:脊柱侧弯主要指脊柱冠状位、矢状位和轴位上的序列异常,且Cobb角≥10°。脊柱侧弯患者会出现双肩不等高、背部不对称等症状,严重者可能会影响患者心肺功能,从而影响患者的日常生活。保守治疗可以控制其侧凸进展,避免后期手术。脊柱侧弯矫形器是目前保守治疗中较为有效的治疗措施。目的:对脊柱侧弯矫形器的国内外研究现状、热点及趋势进行总结分析,为相关研究提供参考。方法:以文献计量学与可视化分析为手段,用中外文献对比的方法,对近10年脊柱侧弯矫形器期刊文献进行分析。通过文献计量学得出脊柱侧弯矫形器研究的现状,使用Citespace软件对关键词进行重点分析,得出目前脊柱侧弯矫形器研究的热点及未来趋势。结果与结论:①目前脊柱侧弯矫形器文献数量仍处于波动上升趋势。中国和美国是主要研究国家,两者文献占比超过40%,但中国学者的外文文献平均引用率较低。②国内研究的基础领域主要为外科学与儿科学,而在国外主要研究领域是矫形学与临床神经学。国内中医学也有一定数量的文献,说明国内也从事中西医结合的方法治疗脊柱侧弯。国家自然科学基金在中外文献中的占比都是最高的,体现出该基金对脊柱侧弯矫形器研究的重视。③中外文献发文量最高的作者为邱勇和Negrini Stefano,发文最多的机构是南京大学医学院附属鼓楼医院脊柱外科和UDICE-French Research University。国内外作者及机构有一定交流,但不密切,需要相关机构和学者进行进一步探讨研究。④从研究热点及未来趋势来看,主要治疗类型为青少年特发性脊柱侧弯,脊柱侧弯矫形器制作方式为3D打印,主要治疗指标为侧凸进展,治疗最终目的为提升患者的生活质量。展开更多
