Comparison of Postural Control and Motor Control in Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis and Healthy Subjects: A Short Report

Authors

Abstract:

Background and Objectives: Idiopathic scoliosis is one of the most common abnormalities in adolescents which can result in impaired postural and motor control. Therefore, the present study compared the postural and motor control in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and healthy subjects. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, out of 79 patients referred to Tehran Rehabilitation Center of Red Crescent in 2018, 57 patients with scoliosis and 22 healthy subjects were selected through purposive sampling, and the postural control and motor control variables were measured using a posturography device. Independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to analyze data. Results: The results showed that there is no significant difference between postural control and motor control variables in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and healthy subjects (p<0.05). Conclusion: According to the results, it probably seems that idiopathic scoliosis cannot significantly alter the postural and motor control of adolescents. Key words: Adolescence Idiopathic Scoliosis, Postural Control, Motor Control   Funding: This study did not have any funds. Conflict of interest: None declared. Ethical approval: The Ethics Committee of Sport Sciences Research Institute approved this study (IR.SSRI.REC.1398.498).   How to cite this article: Shahriarpour A, Eftekhari F, Hadadnezhad M, Bayattork M.
