Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

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

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Idiopathic Scoliosis	Behavioral: gait with leg length discrepancy	N/A

Detailed 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)

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Healthy children (5 to 12 years old)	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.
