Background Despite considerable advances in the past few decades, there is no generally
accepted “top theory or theories” of the etiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). This …

Anthropometric data from three groups of adolescent girls-preoperative adolescent
idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), screened for scoliosis and normals were analysed by comparing …

Abstract Scoliosis occurs in about 0.2–0.6% of the general population. In the majority of
cases the cause of this entity remains mostly unidentified. The search for the causes covers …

Idiopathic scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformation of the spine. As its name suggests, its
pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Enhanced comprehension of its pathogenesis …

Several theories have been proposed to explain the etiology of adolescent idiopathic
scoliosis (AIS) until present. However, limited data are available regarding the impact of …

Background Postural stability deficits have been proposed to influence the onset and
progression of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). This study aimed to systematically …

The aetiology of idiopathic scoliosis (IS) remains unknown, but there is growing support for
the possibility of an underlying neurological disorder. Functional magnetic resonance …

Background and Objectives: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a prevalent spinal
disorder in adolescents. Previous studies have shown biomechanical changes of the gait in …

The aim of this work was to analyze postural stability of girls having progressive form of
idiopathic scoliosis and undergoing specific period of the adolescent growth spurt. Twenty …

Background Despite the positive effects of spinal braces on postural stability, they may
constrain movement, resulting in poor balance control in patients with adolescent idiopathic …
