The sagittal trunk imbalance rate was 57.25%. The distance of apical vertebrae and head offset in the coronal trunk balance group was significantly (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05) smaller than that in the imbalance group. The apical vertebrae offset distance and head offset distance were positively correlated with the tilt angle of trunk (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.484 and 0.642, respectively, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). The difference in the percentage of pressure load on the left and right foot was significantly (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05) greater in the coronal imbalance group than that in the balance group.The center of pressure (COP) sway area was significantly (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05) larger in the overall trunk imbalance group (both coronal and sagittal imbalance) than in the balanced group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Most AIS patients have trunk imbalance which is severer on the coronal than on the sagittal plane.
