Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Scoliotic patients with proprioceptive deficits
Study subjects possessed statistically significant differences in testing outcomes of proprioception compared with healthy controls.
Diagnostic test: Proprioceptive assessment
  1. Trunk flexion-extension repositioning test
  2. Trunk lateral-flexion repositioning test
  3. Trunk axial-rotation repositioning test
  4. Neck rotation repositioning test
  5. Elbow flexion repositioning test
  6. Knee extension repositioning test
Scoliotic patients without proprioceptive deficits
Study subjects with similar testing results of proprioception compared with healthy controls.
Diagnostic test: Proprioceptive assessment
  1. Trunk flexion-extension repositioning test
  2. Trunk lateral-flexion repositioning test
  3. Trunk axial-rotation repositioning test
  4. Neck rotation repositioning test
  5. Elbow flexion repositioning test
  6. Knee extension repositioning test
