AIS alters and reduces postural control and balance. Self-correction movement (SCM) is a well-known non-invasive approach to ameliorate spine curve in AIS subjects. We aimed to evaluate the effects of SCM on the spine and on the balance of adolescents with AIS with a new non-invasive instrumentation. Methods: A total of 38 girls with AIS were recruited. To evaluate the acute effects of SCM and the oscillations of center of pressure (COP), we used LiDAR technology combined with a stabilometric platform to evaluate both changes in spinal curves and balance at the same time. Two tests were carried out simultaneously using the two instruments: before the execution of SCM, in the spontaneously assumed position of each subject (SP) and after the execution of SCM, during the achieved position (SC). Sway area, COP medio-lateral and antero-posterior directions, eccentricity of the ellipse and vertebral lateral deviation were recorded. The two conditions were compared with a Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: In general, all measures showed lower values in SC condition (p &lt; 0.05), except the variation along the Y axis. Conclusions: Thanks to objective measured data, the therapists observed real-time changes during the performance of SCM, appreciating its efficacy on curve correction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22051883","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,28]],"date-time":"2022-02-28T20:11:57Z","timestamp":1646079117000},"page":"1883","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Acute Effects of Self-Correction on Spine Deviation and Balance in Adolescent Girls with Idiopathic Scoliosis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4185-7428","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luca","family":"Marin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Adapted Motor Activity (LAMA), Department of Public Health, Experimental Medicine and Forensic Science, University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy"},{"name":"Laboratory for Rehabilitation Medicine and Sport (LARMS), 00133 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, Citt\u00e0 di Pavia Hospital, 27100 Pavia, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Research, ASOMI College of Sciences, 2080 Marsa, Malta"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4115-0833","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicola","family":"Lovecchio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human and Social Science, University of Bergamo, 24127 Bergamo, Italy"}]},{"given":"Luisella","family":"Pedrotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics Unit, Department of Clinical Surgical Sciences, Diagnostic and Pediatrics, University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Pediatric Orthopedics, Citt\u00e0 di Pavia Hospital, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5801-3822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Federica","family":"Manzoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Epidemiological Observatory Unit, Health Protection Agency, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}]},{"given":"Massimiliano","family":"Febbi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Rehabilitation Medicine and Sport (LARMS), 00133 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Research, ASOMI College of Sciences, 2080 Marsa, Malta"}]},{"given":"Ilaria","family":"Albanese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Rehabilitation Medicine and Sport (LARMS), 00133 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Tor Vergata, 00133 Rome, Italy"}]},{"given":"Pamela","family":"Patan\u00e8","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Rehabilitation Medicine and Sport (LARMS), 00133 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Tor Vergata, 00133 Rome, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2299-6366","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vittoria","family":"Carnevale Pellino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Adapted Motor Activity (LAMA), Department of Public Health, Experimental Medicine and Forensic Science, University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Tor Vergata, 00133 Rome, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3405-9364","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matteo","family":"Vandoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Adapted Motor Activity (LAMA), Department of Public Health, Experimental Medicine and Forensic Science, University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1186\/1748-7161-1-2","article-title":"Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: Natural history and long term treatment effects","volume":"1","author":"Asher","year":"2006","journal-title":"Scoliosis"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1527","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(08)60658-3","article-title":"Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis","volume":"371","author":"Weinstein","year":"2008","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1562","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199407001-00004","article-title":"The ste-justine adolescent idiopathic scoliosis cohort study.
