Abstract/Notes

Scoliosis is the most frequent spinal deformity among adolescents. In 80 % of cases, it is defined as idiopathic as no individual cause has been identified. However, several factors linked to Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) have been identified and are under investigation. One of these factors is neurological dysfunction. Increase in body sway has been observed either during or following sensory manipulation in AIS patients. It is believed that impairment in sensory processing could be related to scoliosis onset. Impairment in sensory processing could induce a body schema distortion. The aim of this case series was to evaluate if conventional orthopaedic treatments could improve balance control thus implying a better body representation. Although, no strong conclusion can be drawn from a case series, results suggest that alteration in body representation should be investigated in future studies.


La scoliose est la déformation de la colonne vertébrale la plus fréquente chez les adolescents. Dans 80 % des cas, on la définit comme idiopathique, puisqu’on n’a jamais déterminé de cause unique. Toutefois, plusieurs facteurs liés à la scoliose idiopathique de l’adolescent (SIA) ont été déterminés, et font actuellement l’objet d’études. L’un de ces facteurs est la dysfonction neurologique. Une augmentation du déséquilibre corporel a été observée durant ou après la manipulation sensorielle chez les patients atteints de SIA. On croit qu’un trouble du traitement sensoriel pourrait être lié à l’apparition de la scoliose. Un trouble du traitement sensoriel pourrait entraîner une distorsion du schéma postural. Le but de cette série d’études de cas était d’évaluer si les traitements orthopédiques classiques pouvaient améliorer le contrôle de l’équilibre, et ainsi améliorer la posture du corps. Même s’il est impossible de tirer des conclusions solides d’une série d’études de cas, les résultats suggèrent néanmoins que les modifications de la posture du corps devraient faire l’objet d’études ultérieures.
