Pulmonary function and exercise capacity in mild early-onset idiopathic scoliosis: a case‒control study
Mild pulmonary and exercise capacity restrictions appear early in mild EOIS. Exercise capacity is influenced by lung function and exhibits a negative correlation with the severity of scoliosis. Pulmonary function in right thoracic scoliosis was significantly lower than that in left thoracic scoliosis. Early identification of these functional declines is crucial for implementing timely interventions to prevent further deterioration.
