Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of back muscle activations on idiopathic scoliosis

Description:

• Design: Prospective study

• Setting: hospital rehabilitation department

• Intervention: Participants were asked to walk with a surface electromyography(EMG) attached to their back muscles. After repeating the same process with different leg lengths discrepancy (0cm, 0.5cm, 1cm), participants are compared the main outcome measures.

• Main outcome measures: surface electromyography(EMG)

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Status: Completed
• Enrollment: 39
• Est. completion date: December 12, 2023
• Est. primary completion date: February 28, 2023
• Accepts healthy volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
• Gender: All
• Age group: 5 Years to 12 Years

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy children (5 to 12 years old)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Children with leg length discrepancy over 0.5cm

• Children complaining of acute low back pain

• Children with spinal scoliosis

• Children with cerebral palsy, muscle paralysis, polio, congenital spinal abnormalities

• Children who underwent spinal surgery

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Idiopathic Scoliosis
• Scoliosis

Intervention

Behavioral:
• gait with leg length discrepancy
After attaching the surface electromyography(EMG) to bilateral back muscles, participants walk at a comfortable speed. The investigators will evaluate the effects of leg length discrepancy on the back muscle activation during gait.
