Comparison of locomotor pattern between idiopathic scoliosis patients and control subjects

چکیده
Introduction Idiopathic scoliosis has no known cause. One the potential hypothesis is the influence of an asymmetrical nervous command on the muscles acting the spine. The aim of this study is to compare idiopathic scoliosis patients (ISP) and control adolescents (CTRL) during locomotion at comfortable speed. The specific purposes of this study are to compare both groups during walking 1) for EMG activity of the erector spinea muscles and the kinematics (acceleration) of the spine in the antero-posterior (A/P) direction and 2) for the kinetics (moment, power and work) at the ankle, knee and hip.

Improper postural alignment and trunk stability caused by idiopathic scoliosis may affect postural balance pattern during sitting. In this study, we conducted pressure data analysis for evaluation of postural balance in patients with idiopathic scoliosis by using pressure sensor system. Subjects were divided into three groups: a control group, scoliosis with left convex side of the curve group,...
