چکیده

Background While many studies have been performed on the effects of exercise on Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) little research has been done into the underlying muscle physiology. Studies have suggested a fibre type imbalance, however, the implications of this difference as reflected through fatiguability have not been studied. The slope of the median frequency of the surface electromyographic (EMG) signal is a useful tool in determining the fatigability of muscles.

Comparing the Electromyography Activity of Core Muscles During Side Plank Exercise on Stable and Unstable Surfaces

Objective Numerous abdominal exercises with Swiss ball are used to improve core stability with strengthening and rehabilitation goals. It is claimed that the stability exercises have a greater impact on core muscle activation, but the validity of this claim is still in doubt. Moreover, there is no comprehensive study on the comparison of the core muscles activity in different core stability exe...

Serial Case Reporting Yoga for Idiopathic and Degenerative Scoliosis

BACKGROUND Non-surgical techniques for treating scoliosis frequently focus on realigning the spine, typically by muscular relaxation or muscular or ligamentous stretching. However, such treatments, which include physical therapeutic, chiropractic, and bracing techniques, are inconsistently supported by current evidence. In this study, we assess the possible benefits of asymmetrical strengthenin...

Hystological paraspinal muscle comparison between curve concavity and convexity in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Background Several studies have presented morphological, biochemical and histopathological changes in the paraspinal skeletal muscle of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Some abnormalities have been demonstrated such as an increased amount of type I fibers in the concavity and the decreased number of type II in the convexity, an increase in the intracellular concentration of ...
