Evaluation of Thoracic Paraspinal Muscles Imbalance in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis with Main Thoracic Curve Based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Our research indicates that the severity of paraspinal muscle imbalance is different in three layers, with the deep layer most severe, followed by the intermediate layer, and the superficial layer least severe. The imbalance of deep muscle correlates strongly with radiographic parameters, suggesting its role as a compensatory adaptation to curve magnitude.
