Abstract Idiopathic scoliosis is a complicated orthopedic disorder marked by a side-to-side curvature of the spine, the cause of which is unknown and it predominantly affects children and adolescents. The Cobb angle is the conventional technique for evaluating the severity of scoliosis through X-rays; however, it has limitations, including inter and intra-observer variability that can […]
Abstract Idiopathic scoliosis is a complex orthopedic condition marked by a lateral spinal curvature, typically affecting children and adolescents. The Cobb angle is a key metric for evaluating scoliosis severity through X-rays, but its measurement can suffer from variability due to imaging quality, positioning and physician experience, with an acceptable range of variation up to

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is included into the category of pathologies that could affect postural control. Rarely AIS shows symptoms but often compromises the normal positioning of the head, trunk and, more generally, of the limbs in the space. We used a stabilometric platform to evaluate the motor control outcomes during a self-elongation in
Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of spine and trunk with a higher incidence in girls. AIS alters and reduces postural control and balance. Self-correction movement (SCM) is a well-known non-invasive approach to ameliorate spine curve in AIS subjects. We aimed to evaluate the effects of SCM on the spine and on
