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 …

The link between gait parameters and hearing loss is not well understood. The objective of
this study was to investigate the effects of the gait ground reaction forces, their time to peak …

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 …

Kinetics data such as ground reaction forces (GRFs) are commonly used as indicators for
rehabilitation and sports performance; however, they are difficult to measure with convenient …

In general, three-dimensional ground reaction forces (GRFs) and ground reaction moments
(GRMs) that occur during human gait are measured using a force plate, which are expensive …

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 …

Introduction Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common type of three-
dimensional spinal deformity. Identifying the postural adjustments or changes for different …

Background and purpose Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a structural, lateral
curvature with rotation of the spine that develops around puberty. The influence of this spinal …

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is characterized by morphological trunk modifications
acting on body mass distribution. Some specific biomechanical strategies during postural …
