Analysis of Pelvic Obliquity in Standing Position and during Walking in Patients with Different Types of Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis

Abstract

Objective To analyze the correlation between juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (JIS) patients with lumbar and thoracic scoliosis and the degree of pelvis obliquity in standing position and during walking. Methods The patients with JIS(Cobb≥10°) admitted into Peking Union Medical College Hospital from September 2020 to December 2022 and non-JIS patients(Cobb 0.05). Conclusion In JIS patients with lumbar or thoracolumbar scoliosis, the iliac crest height of the lumbar scoliosis was lower than that of the concave side in standing position, and therefore, the tilt degree of pelvis obliquity should be increased to maintain bilateral balance during walking.
