Muscle Biology and the Pathogenesis of AIS: Insights from Electrophysiology, Imaging, Histology, and Molecular Genetics
Studies have indicated that patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) commonly present with an imbalance of the paraspinal muscles regarding the orientation, length, thickness, volume, cross sectional area, and fiber type composition. However, whether paraspinal muscle imbalance is the cause or the consequence of spinal deformities in IS, remains unclear.
