Correlational analysis of three-dimensional spinopelvic parameters with standing balance and gait characteristics in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: A preliminary research on Lenke V.

ABSTRACT: Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), the most common spinal deformity, possibly develops due to imbalanced spinal loading following asymmetric development. Since altered loading patterns may affect standing balance and gait, we investigated whether a correlation exists between balance ability, gait pattern, and the three-dimensional radiographic spinopelvic parameters in AIS patients. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 34 AIS patients (aged 10-18 years) and an equal number of healthy age and sex-matched teenagers (normal group). We obtained the spinopelvic three-dimensional parameters and balance parameters simultaneously through the EOS imaging system and gait and center of pressure (CoP) characteristics using a plantar pressure m
