Abstract

Purpose£ºThe purpose of this study was to investigate the correlations between clinical balance scales and Balance Performance Monitor parameters in patient with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
Methods£ºTwenty AIS subjects (age, 14.26¡¾1.93 yrs; height, 160.56¡¾7.98 cm; weight, 47.54 ¡¾6.94 kg)were participated in this study. Postural sway(mean balance, sway angle, sway area, sway path, maximal sway velocity) were were evaluated by balance performance monitor. Measurements for clinical balance scales were Functional reach test (both side), the Lateral reach test (both side) and One leg standing test (both legs).
Results£ºThe results were as follows. There were positive strong correlation between major curve direction and left-right sway angle, sway path, maximal sway velocity. There were negative strong correlation between the functional reach and left-right sway angle, sway area, sway path, maximal sway velocity. And the lateral reach were also showed negative strong correlation parameters of balance performance monitor. One leg standing were negatively correlated with left-right sway angle, sway path, maximal sway velocity.
Conclusion£ºThe clinical balance scales will be useful tools for balance measurements, and basic tools for clinical setting for patient with AIS.
