AI Article Synopsis
- Research has primarily focused on static postural control in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), while dynamic postural control has been less studied.
- This study involved 50 female AIS patients to examine factors influencing the index of postural stability (IPS), measured through stabilometry.
- Key findings indicate that coronal balance, major curve position, and age are related to dynamic postural control ability, while the Cobb angle did not show any significant correlation.
Article Abstract
Research on postural control in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has focused on static postural control, with few studies assessing dynamic postural control. We aimed to identify factors affecting index of postural stability (IPS), a dynamic postural control parameter, in patients with AIS. The participants comprised 50 female patients with AIS. We measured the IPS using stabilometry to evaluate dynamic postural control ability. We investigated age of the participants, major curve position (thoracic or thoracolumbar/lumbar), Cobb angle, and coronal balance. We then assessed the relationships between stabilometry parameters and other variables. IPS was analyzed with a linear regression model. Coronal balance, major curve position, and age each correlated with dynamic postural control ability. The Cobb angle showed no correlation with any of the parameters. Our results offer new insights into the assessment of postural control in patients with AIS.
