No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purposes of this study are to use motion analysis techniques to study the biomechanical interactions between the spine and the lower limbs in scoliosis patients with or without leg length discrepancy (LLD) during activity; to investigate the effects of correction of LLD: using foot orthosis on the functional scoliotic spinal curve and motion during functional activity; and to test whether idiopathic scoliosis without LLD can be improved by artificially creating a leg length discrepancy with a foot orthosis.
