adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Conditions
Interventions
Vestibular stimulation group:A portable current stimulator was used to apply random noise electrical stimulation (nGVS) to the bilateral vestibular systems of AIS subjects. A pair of circular silicone
Proprioceptive stimulation group:A C-2 vibration sensor is used to provide proprioceptive stimulation to the plantar region of AIS patients. The vibration sensor is fixed in a specially made insole, w
Proprioceptive combined with vestibular stimulation group:AIS patients received simultaneous proprioceptive and vestibular stimulation using the afore-mentioned nGVS device and the C2 plantar vibratio
Control group:The sham stimulation was delivered using the same intervention devices (nGVS, plantar vibration), placement protocol, and stimulation parameters as those employed in the experimental gro
however, the device was powered off 30 seconds after activation, resulting in zero intensity (0 mA for electrical stimulation or
