The Effect of Back Muscles Activation on Idiopathic Scoliosis Using Surface Electromyography
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Idiopathic Scoliosis
- Interventions
- Behavioral: gait with leg length discrepancy
- Registration Number
- NCT05333796
- Lead Sponsor
- Seoul National University Hospital
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of back muscle activations on idiopathic scoliosis
- 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)
