Abstract
Purpose: Scoliosis is a three-dimensional condition that causes deformity in the coronal, transverse and sagittal planes. Pulmonary function has been widely documented as a factor that can be affected by scoliosis. A handful of studies have been completed to evaluate lung function in patients with scoliosis primarily relating to coronal measurements. It has been revealed that lung function impairment tends to be common in patients with scoliosis who present with severe curvatures (i.e. Cobb angle > 70 degrees), however there has been little to no research that examines pulmonary function in relation to deformity due to scoliosis in the transverse plane.
