Spine kinematics exhibited during the stop-jump by physically-active individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and spinal fusion

After spinal fusion, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis individuals (SF-AIS) often return to exercise and sport. However, the movements SF-AIS use to compensate for the loss of spinal flexibility during high-effort tasks are not known.Purpose: To compare, between SF-AIS and healthy controls (CON) groups, the spinal kinematics of the trunk segments displayed during the stop-jump, a maximal effort task.Study Design: Case Controlled design
