چکیده

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is characterized by three-dimensional deformation of the spine resulting in alterations of body posture and segment alignment [1]. Changes in body posture have been found to relate to stability deficits in AIS patients, which may be exacerbated by AIS severity [2]. Previous work has related AIS patients have reduced postural stability characterized by requiring greater neuromuscular control to maintain standing balance in the AP direction [4] and increased lateral sway [5].

Effect of a Long-Term Corrective Exercises With Using Brace on Cobb Angle and Postural Control of a Girl With Adolescence Idiopathic Scoliosis

Purpose: Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine in which the resulting imbalance accompanied by the changes in muscle and nervous components can harm the postural control. Various treatments have been suggested so far to correct scoliosis, in which using corrective exercises along with brace are essential to limit the growing curvature, improve spine stability and postural cont...

Effects of the Direction of the Curve in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis on Postural Balance during Sitting

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,...

The Vestibular-Evoked Postural Response of Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis Is Altered

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a multifactorial disorder including neurological factors. A dysfunction of the sensorimotor networks processing vestibular information could be related to spine deformation. This study investigates whether feed-forward vestibulomotor control or sensory reweighting mechanisms are impaired in adolescent scoliosis patients. Vestibular evoked postural responses we...

Do Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) Neglect Proprioceptive Information in Sensory Integration of Postural Control?

INTRODUCTION It has been reported that AIS rely much more on ankle proprioception to control the amplitude of the balance control commands as compared to age-matched healthy adolescents. Our hypothesis was that AIS do not neglect proprioceptive information to control posture probably because of their vestibular deficits. We investigated the proprioceptive contribution to postural control in AIS...
