Prevalence rates differed among races (e.g., 11.1% for whites and 6.5% for African Americans) but were similar for men and women. Most patients had mild curves (80.6%), there was no difference in the distribution of curve severity by gender or age, and African Americans were more likely...
171]. The hypothesis that increased BMI can influence scoliosis presentation was tested in 427 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis [170]. Female subjects who presented with larger curves (>50 degrees) were older and had a greater BMI than those with curves less than 50 degrees (...
Over several years, this can lead to a significant increase in spinal curve and deformity. It is a common belief that adults do not get mild scoliosis or feel its symptoms. However, as people grow older, their joints can wear out and their bones may lose strength. This can lead to new...

Vestibular dysfunction has been reported as a potential cause in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). However, it remained unclear how stochastic galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) affected kinetic performance of patients with AIS. This study aimed to investigate the effect of stochastic GVS on gro...
