Acute Training Effect Assessment in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Sponsor: The University of Hong Kong
Summary
This study aims to assess the immediate effects of a self-corrective exercise on muscle activity and spinal alignment in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Eligible participants will undergo clinical assessments of spine deviation and surface electromyography (EMG) before and after a single session of guided self-controled and self-corrective exercise. The findings may help inform rehabilitation strategies for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
