Abstract
BackgroundIdiopathic scoliosis is described as the most common postural deformity to affect adolescents. These patients demonstrate vestibular system perturbations. Scoliosis can be treated through spinal fusion. Does spinal fusion coupled to rehabilitation program present significant effect of dynamic equilibrium? MethodsAn unstable platform was used to analyze dynamic equilibrium in patients with idiopathic scoliosis (before and one year after spinal fusion) against a population of asymptomatic subjects. ResultsA significant group and condition effect was observed on Center of Mass. ConclusionIn relation to vestibular system, spinal fusion coupled to rehabilitation program is associated to better dynamic equilibrium.
