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 …

Background Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a progressive growth disease that
affects spinal anatomy, mobility, and left-right trunk symmetry. The disease can modify …

Purpose This study investigated side-to-side gait asymmetry in subjects with adolescent
idiopathic scoliosis. Methods There were 20 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and 20 …

Study Design. Cross-sectional study. Objective. To evaluate whether the amplitude of spine
deformation in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is an important factor for postural control …

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that imbalance in patients with a severe
deformity of the spine is associated with an increase in the sensory integration disorder. This …

Background Many young girls with generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) choose to
participate in dance because their bodies are suited for this activity. Scoliosis tends to occur …

Even for a stereotyped task, sensorimotor behavior is generally variable due to noise,
redundancy, adaptability, learning or plasticity. The sources and significance of different …

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

Patients with non-specific low back pain (LBP) may use postural control strategies that differ
from healthy subjects. To study these possible differences, we measured the amount and …

Background. Knowledge on mechanisms of neurophysiological control of trunk movement
and posture could help in the development of rehabilitation programs and brace treatment in …
