Abstract

The present study was designed to investigate the involvement of central nervous system (CNS) in the pathogenesis of idiopathic scoliosis. Seventeen female patients with right thoracic idiopathic scoliosis (mean age = 13.36y) and ten normal controls (mean age =12.6y) entered the study. Magnetic stimulation of the brain was performed. Threshold measurements included upper (UT) and lower threshold (LT). Cortical latencies of MEPs during muscle activation were also measured.

摘要

本研究旨在调查中枢神经系统（CNS）在特发性脊柱侧凸发病机制中的作用。17例右胸段特发性脊柱侧凸女性患者（平均年龄=13.36岁）和10名正常对照者（平均年龄=12.6岁）进入本研究。对大脑进行磁刺激。阈值测量包括上限（UT）和下限（LT）。还测量了肌肉激活期间运动诱发电位（MEP）的皮质潜伏期。
