Untreated adolescent idiopathic scoliotic girls display altered balance modalities during self-paced voluntary body sways compared to able-bodied girls

Scoliotic girls appear to be performing a wide ellipsoidal trajectory when performing whole body oscillations. Superfluous variables could be related to the difficulty in preserving balance during body sway tasks and could parasitize the scoliotic dynamic control balance modalities. Self-paced voluntary sways could be an appropriate complementary balance test for untreated scoliotic girls.
