Fondo: La escoliosis idiopática del adolescente (AIS) es una deformidad tridimensional de la columna y el tronco con una mayor incidencia en las niñas. AIS altera y reduce el control postural y el equilibrio. El movimiento de autocorrección (SCM) es un enfoque no invasivo bien conocido para mejorar la curvatura de la columna en sujetos con AIS.

Diseño del estudio y participantes: We conducted an observational study. A total of 38 girls with AIS were recruited from the Orthopedics Department of the “Città di Pavia”—University Hospital of Pavia during the weekly physiotherapy routine session. The inclusion criteria were the age between 12 to 17 years old, the ability to perform self-elongation exercises and the scoliotic curve with a Cobb angle lower than 40°.

Procedimientos: All the measurements were assessed in the afternoon (4–5:00 or 5–6:00 p.m.) in the same clinical setting; specifically, in a room in a clinical context with a constant temperature of 21 °C. The clinical setting is shown in Figura 2. Los participantes se pararon descalzos sobre la plataforma estabilométrica, en una postura erguida y tranquila, con la espalda descubierta frente al Spine 3D que se colocó a 110 cm de los sujetos.
