Quantitative and qualitative assessment of vestibular function was made in 18 female subjects with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and a control group of 25 female subjects without scoliosis. The Southern California Postrotary Nystagmus Test, which examines postrotatory nystagmus response, was used to assess the vestibular function of subjects in both groups. The results indicated that subjects with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis had a significantly decreased duration of postrotatory nystagmus as well as irregularities in nystagmus form. The recommendation was made that a neurological examination, including assessment of vestibular function, be incorporated into screening methods for scoliosis.
对18名患有青少年特发性脊柱侧凸的女性受试者和25名无脊柱侧凸的女性对照组进行了前庭功能的定量和定性评估。采用南加州转椅后眼震试验来检测转椅后眼震反应，以此评估两组受试者的前庭功能。结果表明，患有青少年特发性脊柱侧凸的受试者转椅后眼震的持续时间显著缩短，且眼震形式不规则。建议将包括前庭功能评估在内的神经学检查纳入脊柱侧凸的筛查方法中。
