Brief summary
The aim of the study is to compare body balance parameters assessed using the AMTI dynamometric platform in children with idiopathic scoliosis (with and without Schroth therapy) compared to control group.
Detailed description
Assessment of balance parameters on the AMTI dynanometric platform in children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and healthy children in the same age group. Each person examined will have one trial measurement, followed by a 3-minute break. After the trial measurement, the actual examination will take place - 3 trials of 60 seconds each in 4 different variants: eyes open, eyes closed, single leg left lower limb eyes open, single leg right lower limb eyes open.The variants will be randomized. Assessment of body posture using photo recordings taken with an OLYMPUS digital camera, which will be used to classify the type of scoliosis. Anthropometric points will be marked using a washable marker: cervical-thoracic junction C7-Th1, thoracic-lumbar junction Th12/L1, lumbosacral junction L5/S1, right and left anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), right and left posterior superior iliac spine ( PSIS), the center of the right and left greater trochanters and the center of the lateral malleolus. Photo registration will be made in four positions: front, back, right side and left side. The camera is 3 m away from the subject and the height of the tripod is half the height of the body. Analysis of spine X-ray images: Cobb angle, Schroth type of scoliosis, Bordering vertebrae, Apex vertebra, Vertebral rotation, Sagittal plane analysis

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Analysis of body balance on the AMTI force platform | Before and after 12-week therapy | The measurement of center of pressure (anterior-posterior) (cm) in standing position with eyes open, eyes closed, single leg left lower limb eyes open, single leg right lower limb eyes open. |
| Photographic analysis of body posture | Directly before and after 12-week therapy | The photos will be taken in various positions: front, back and both sides. |
| Analysis of x-ray in the frontal plane | One-time examintation before therapy | Cobb angle (degree) |
| Analysis of x-ray in the sagittal plane | One-time examintation before therapy | Kyphosis angle (degree) |
