The etiologic importance of postural dysfunction, as shown by many authors in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), has been under great debate. The authors' hypothesis was that a factor that is involved in the development of the scoliotic curvature, would be present also in nonscoliotic siblings to scoliosis patients, as AIS is a hereditary transmitted disease. Postural function in 100 siblings to scoliotic children was investigated by means of stabilometry, and compared with a matched control group of healthy children, as well as a group of scoliotic children. The siblings showed a postural control function that was significantly different from both of the other groups. The siblings had a postural sway that was less than the sway measured in both controls and scoliosis patients. The sway was also more asymmetrical than in the two other groups. In the authors' opinion, the presence of this postural aberration in siblings indicates that it is a factor in the etiology of AIS.
正如许多作者在青少年特发性脊柱侧凸（AIS）研究中所表明的那样，姿势功能障碍的病因学重要性一直存在很大争议。作者的假设是，由于AIS是一种遗传性疾病，参与脊柱侧凸曲线发展的一个因素在脊柱侧凸患者的非脊柱侧凸兄弟姐妹中也会存在。通过稳定测量法对100名脊柱侧凸儿童的兄弟姐妹的姿势功能进行了研究，并与一组匹配的健康儿童对照组以及一组脊柱侧凸儿童进行了比较。这些兄弟姐妹表现出的姿势控制功能与其他两组均有显著差异。这些兄弟姐妹的姿势摆动小于在对照组和脊柱侧凸患者中测量到的摆动。而且，这种摆动比其他两组更不对称。作者认为，兄弟姐妹中这种姿势异常的存在表明它是AIS病因学中的一个因素。
