Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) disrupts spinal alignment and increases the intrinsic demand for active stabilization to maintain postural stability. Understanding the paraspinal muscle fatigability and its effects on spinal alignment and kinematics informs the importance of paraspinal muscle endurance for postural stability. This study aims to investigate the effects of fatigue of thoracic erector spinae on the spinal muscle activity and spinal kinematics in individuals with scoliosis. Spinal muscle activity, posture and mobility measured by electromyography and surface tomography were compared between 15 participants with scoliosis and 15 age- and gender-matched healthy controls during unilateral shoulder flexion and abduction with and without holding a 2-kg weight and performed before and after a fatigue task (prone isometric chest raise). No between-groups difference was found for the spinal extensor endurance. Erector spinae activity at the convex side of AIS group was significantly higher than that at their concave side and than that of healthy controls during shoulder elevations, regardless of the fatigue status. Significant decreases in translational and rotational mobility were found at convex side of AIS group during weighted abduction tasks after fatigue. In contrast, a significant increase in rotational mobility was demonstrated at convex side of AIS participants during weighted flexion tasks after fatigue. Our results revealed a comparable level of spinal extensor endurance between individuals with or without AIS. The increase in muscle activation post-fatigue provides no additional active postural stability but may increase the risk of back pain over the convex side in individuals with scoliosis. Findings highlight imbalances in muscles and the potential implications in optimising neuromuscular activation and endurance capacity in the rehabilitation for AIS patients. Future research is needed to investigate if endurance training of the convex-sided back extensors could optimize the impaired neuromuscular control in the AIS patients.
