Abstract
Patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis demonstrate vestibular and proprioceptive system perturbations. Scoliosis can be treated through spinal fusion. Does spinal fusion present significant effect of dynamic equilibrium in case of lateral oscillations? Using an unstable platform in frontal plane, dynamic equilibrium in patients with idiopathic scoliosis (before and one year after spinal fusion) was analyzed against a population of asymptomatic subjects. A significant group effect was observed on Center of Mass in case of Eyes Opened. In relation to sensory integration, spinal fusion coupled to rehabilitation program is associated to better dynamic equilibrium.
