Predictive Progressive Factors of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

The hypothesis of this study is that progressive AIS is characterized by a disorder of orthostatic postural control. The analysis and the treatment of posturographic signal on computerized integrate force plates, coupled to clinical and radiographic examinations, could highlight predictive and reliable factors at the moment of diagnosis. Thus, it could help the clinician in his therapeutic approach, based on the postural control improvement (individualized prescription in kinesitherapy, better adaptation to orthopedic treatments by corset). This method is non-invasive, without side effects, fast and achievable in routine care at the moment of the diagnosis of AIS.
