Article Synopsis
- Individuals with scoliosis experience dysfunction in muscle recruitment, particularly during everyday activities like walking and stair climbing, highlighting a gap in current research on muscle characteristics in these patients.
- The study aims to compare muscle activity patterns between scoliosis patients and healthy individuals to improve assessment and rehabilitation treatment plans.
- Using surface electromyography (sEMG) to measure muscle activation, the research found that scoliosis patients display significant differences in movement patterns and muscle activation during walking and stair climbing compared to controls.
Objectives: This meta-analysis aims to synthesize the available data on the effectiveness of hamstring stretching exercises in relieving pain intensity and improving function for patients with low back pain.
Methods: Google Scholars, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, MEDLINE, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP were searched from inception to August 2023. We included randomized controlled trials that investigated the effectiveness of hamstring stretching exercises in patients with low back pain.
Staircases are a frequently encountered obstacle in daily life, requiring individuals to navigate ascending and descending movements that place additional demands on the trunk and lower limbs compared to walking on level surfaces. Therefore, it is crucial to examine the biomechanical characteristics of the trunk and lower limbs in individuals with scoliosis during stair activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the biomechanical differences in trunk and lower limbs during daily stair activities between patients with scoliosis and a healthy population.

Nevertheless, previous single-joint models have proven inadequate in evaluating the movement across different spinal segments in patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS). Scoliosis significantly impairs movement functions, especially during activities such as ascending and descending stairs.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: It remains unclear if Pilates is conducive to reducing spinal deformity and improving patients' quality of life (QOL) with scoliosis. The aim of this study was to systematically review the published evidence to determine whether Pilates exercise training is an efficacious therapy for scoliosis.
Methods: Searches was conducted in Medline, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Cochrane library, Baidu Scholar, and Green Medical to identify randomized studies that tested the effect of Pilates exercise training on Cobb angle, pain level, trunk range of motion (ROM), angle of trunk rotation, and QOL in idiopathic scoliosis.
