Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS): It is a common three-dimensional musculoskeletal deformity of the spine among adolescents aged 10-18 years, and is one of the main types of spinal deformities. Its clinical manifestations include: somatic structural abnormalities, motor dysfunction, accompanied by proprioceptive dysfunction, postural control deficits, and structural abnormalities of the centr
