Idiopathic scoliosis is a postural deformity of the spine that not only changes the shape of the spine but may also alter postural control and muscle strength. Although this deformity is more common in some sports, it is not known whether the scoliosis athlete's balance and strength are altered. Balance and strength are essential to perform complex technical movements and prevent injuries. This cross-sectional study compared postural control and isokinetic strength of shoulder rotator muscles in squash players with and without idiopathic scoliosis and the control group. We report a higher mediolateral stability index in the frontal plane in scoliosis athletes and this may be associated with increased variability in postural control in the frontal plane. Additionally, the peak torque of the shoulder rotators was not different between the groups. While the relationship between function and posture is complex, these results provide information for preventive health care interventions in scoliosis athletes.
特发性脊柱侧弯是一种脊柱姿势性畸形，它不仅会改变脊柱形状，还可能改变姿势控制和肌肉力量。尽管这种畸形在某些运动中更为常见，但尚不清楚脊柱侧弯运动员的平衡和力量是否发生了改变。平衡和力量对于完成复杂的技术动作和预防损伤至关重要。这项横断面研究比较了有和没有特发性脊柱侧弯的壁球运动员以及对照组的姿势控制和肩部旋转肌的等速肌力。我们报告说，脊柱侧弯运动员在额平面上的内外侧稳定性指数更高，这可能与额平面上姿势控制的变异性增加有关。此外，各组之间肩部旋转肌的峰值扭矩没有差异。虽然功能与姿势之间的关系很复杂，但这些结果为脊柱侧弯运动员的预防性医疗保健干预提供了信息。
