We measured simple and complex balance responses with a force plate stabiliometer in 70 adolescents : 50 with idiopathic scoliosis and 20 controls. The findings suggest that adolescents with IS have normal balance in static, stable positions but are not able to perform as well as normal adolescents in sensory-challenged positions, particularly if they have a severe progressive curve. Longitudinal studies are needed to determine wether balance dysfunction can be used to predict progression of the curve.
