PotsiApp for Pc

1. Back surface topography by means of structured light in the screening is not needed to mark the necessary points for calculating the Potsi Index.

2. The Potsi App calculates the Potsi Index according to the above mentioned developed topographic method (Suzuki N, Inami ) and offers a way to evaluate external back deformities with noninvasive technique.

3. POTSI Index is very sensitive in revealing any frontal plane asymmetry and could help identify moderate deformities which might otherwise be missed in clinics or physical examination.

4. By visual inspection of the spine, asymmetry of the back is significant enough to suspect the existence of scoliosis in such cases, to evaluate spinal deformity an X-ray is ordered.

5. Posterior Trunk Symmetry Index (POTSI) is a useful Index in the assessment of spinal deformity.

6. For specialist a useful tool to monitor quantitatively the cosmetic defect during clinical sessions and to objectively evaluate the effects of surgery on trunk shape.

7. The Potsi Index is the sum two variables Height Asymmetry Index (HAI) and Frontal Asymmetry Index (FAI).

8. Height asymmetry indexes are obtained as the sum of height differences of the shoulders, axillary folds, and waist creases, and it is normalized with the division of its value by the vertical distance from the C7 vertebra to the baseline of the gluteal cleft.

9. Scoliometers could help evaluate the appearance of an asymmetric spine deformity with variable sensitivity and specificity but cannot substitute radiography.

10. In a busy everyday practice, measuring all these parameters needed to calculate the Index by the classic way is time consuming and cumbersome.

11. Clinical application of back surface topography by means of structured light in the screening of idiopathic scoliosis.
