Beyond the Curve: The Muscle‐Specific Asymmetries of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
These findings provide evidence that asymmetries in paraspinal muscle size and composition exist along the length of the scoliotic spine. The asymmetries are associated with curve severity; therefore, supporting the need to further consider muscle in the pathogenesis of AIS.
