O Spinal Mouse como instrumento de análise da curvatura da coluna vertebral: um estudo bibliométrico

Abstract

INTRODUÇÃO: A preocupação global com a saúde da coluna vertebral tem vindo a aumentar devido ao número crescente de jovens afetados por condições como escoliose, hipercifose e hiperlordose, que podem provocar dor, rigidez, limitações funcionais e redução da qualidade de vida. OBJETIVO: Analisar as tendências globais da investigação científica relacionada com a utilização do Spinal Mouse na avaliação da postura e da curvatura da coluna vertebral, recorrendo a uma abordagem bibliométrica. MÉTODO: Foi realizado um estudo bibliométrico com base em documentos indexados nas bases de dados Web of Science e Scopus, abrangendo publicações até janeiro de 2025. As variáveis analisadas incluíram o ano de publicação, métricas de citação, revistas científicas, padrões de autoria e colaboração, bem como os países e instituições com maior produção científica. RESULTADOS: Foram analisadas 227 referências. A maioria das publicações sobre o Spinal Mouse corresponde a artigos científicos, registando-se uma taxa de crescimento anual de 6,33% e uma média de 12,09 citações por documento. Espanha e Japão foram os países com maior número de publicações, embora a colaboração internacional se tenha revelado limitada. CONCLUSÕES: O interesse pelo Spinal Mouse tem vindo a crescer, especialmente no contexto da avaliação não invasiva da postura e do alinhamento da coluna vertebral. Recomenda-se um reforço da colaboração internacional para fortalecer a investigação nesta área, dado o potencial do dispositivo, comprovado pela sua facilidade de utilização, precisão e aplicabilidade tanto em contextos clínicos como de investigação

INTRODUCTION: Global concern about spinal health is increasing due to the growing number of young people affected by conditions such as scoliosis, hyperkyphosis, and hyperlordosis, which can lead to pain, stiffness, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life. OBJECTIVE: To analyze global research trends related to the use of the Spinal Mouse in the evaluation of posture and spinal curvature using a bibliometric approach. METHOD: A bibliometric study was conducted based on documents indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, covering publications up to January 2025. The variables analyzed included year of publication, citation metrics, journals, authorship and collaboration patterns, and the countries and institutions with the highest scientific output. RESULTS: A total of 227 references were analyzed. Most of the publications on the Spinal Mouse were scientific articles, with an annual growth rate of 6.33% and a mean of 12.09 citations per document. Spain and Japan were the countries with the highest number of publications, although international collaboration was found to be limited. CONCLUSIONS: Interest in the Spinal Mouse is growing, particularly in the context of non-invasive assessment of posture and spinal alignment. Greater international collaboration is recommended to strengthen research in this area, as the device has shown potential due to its ease of use, accuracy, and applicability in both clinical and research settings.
