Analysis of kinematic and postural data of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients seems relevant for a better understanding of biomechanical aspects involved in AIS and its etiopathogenesis. The present project aimed at investigating kinematic differences and asymmetries in early AIS in a static task and in uniplanar trunk movements (rotations, lateral bending and forward bending). Trunk kinematics and posture were assessed using a 3D motion analysis system and a force plate. Fifteen healthy girls, fifteen AIS girls with left lumbar main curve and seventeen AIS girls with right thoracic main curve were compared. Statistical analyses were performed to investigate presumed differences between the three groups. This study showed kinematic and postural differences between mild AIS patients and controls such as static imbalance, a reduced range of motion in the frontal plane and a different kinematic strategy in lateral bending. These differences mainly occurred in the same direction whatever the type of scoliosis, and suggested that AIS patients behave similarly from a dynamic point of view.
