Head kinematic analysis in idiopathic scoliosis: a case–control study
Patients with IS employ two distinct strategies for head posture control: exaggerated swaying during static balance and restricted movement during dynamic activities. These patterns may reflect compensatory mechanisms designed to address sensorimotor deficits. Future individualized rehabilitation programs for IS should comprehensively consider the impact of head motor control on overall balance function.
