| Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a twisting deformity in the curve of vertebral column to the lateral side with simultaneous rotation of the vertebrae, which occurs during the growing years from 10 years to the puberty. Objective of the study: Studies investigating balance problems specific to scoliotic patients showed that those patients reveal variable balance abnormalities. In this study we evaluated the difference in dynamic balance between female patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and normal subjects. Materials and Methods: sixty subjects participated in this study. Thirty female patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis scoliosis with a mean age of (19.5 3.26) years, with Cobb's angle ranged from 20º to 40 in the major curves, and thirty healthy female subjects with a mean age of (19.36 2.41) years. Dynamic balance of both groups was evaluated by the Biodex Stability System. Results: MANOVA yielded a non-significant difference of the tested group on the overall stability, A/P stability, M/L stability, time, overall and forward (F= 1.458, p = 0.21, Partial η2= 0.142). The univariate tests of one way between subject MANOVA demonstrated a non-significant difference between both groups in the mean values of the all dependent variables (P>0.05). Subsequently, post hoc tests used for multiple pairwise comparison yielded a non-significant difference in the mean value of the all dependent variables (P>0.05). Conclusion: As there was no significant difference between both groups in balance response, it is not recommended to add balance training as an extra physical therapy program for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis female patients. |
