About

To examine the relationships between spine coronal alignment and lower limb biomechanical parameters in scoliotic adolescents

Full description

BACKGROUND:

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is one of the most common orthopaedic diseases affecting the spine during adolescence. Numerous studies deal with the aetiology of the disease, X-ray morphology and classification of curvatures and how the disorder disrupts the spinal biomechanical balance, however the disorder is a complex three-dimensional deformity that affects the body as a whole, and these effects must not be overlooked. No cross-section studies were found assessing the connection between sagittal or coronal balance and the biomechanical parameters of the lower extremity.

HYPOTHESES:

Null hypothesis There are no statistically significant relationships between spine coronal alignment and lower limb biomechanical parameters in scoliotic adolescents.
