Methods: The study group consisted of 69 girls aged 9 to 14 years. The observational cross-sectional study involved interview, the clinical examination (body weight measurement, measuring the body height in an upright position, assessment of the alignment of the spinous processes of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, assessment of the location of selected anatomical landmarks of the torso), physical examination in which the shape of the ridge surface was analyzed with the use of the photogrammetric method and the moir\u00e9 effect projection and tests (test of adduction of both hips). Results: Significant differences were noted in the values of abduction for the left and right hip. In the studied group, the mean adduction angle for the left hip was 26.3\u00b0 and only 19.2\u00b0 for the right hip. The difference was statistically significant (p &lt; 0.001). Similarly, significant relationships were noted by the authors with reference to values of the difference in abduction for both hips and the sizes of thoracic (p = 00012) and lumbar curvature (p &lt; 0.0001). A significant relationship was also noted between the values of lumbar curvature and the size of adduction for the right hip (p &lt; 0.0001). Conclusions: Abductive contracture of the right hip was noted in the examined girls with AIS. The degree of scoliotic deformity of the lumbar spine is related to the size of the abductive contracture of the right hip joint.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14092864","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,22]],"date-time":"2025-04-22T04:10:38Z","timestamp":1745295038000},"page":"2864","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Hip Adduction Asymmetry in Girls with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2162-3915","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Kurzeja","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Sciences, University of Applied Sciences in Nowy Targ, 34-400 Nowy Targ, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Szurmik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Arts and Educational Science, University of Silesia, 43-400 Cieszyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1422-3606","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karol","family":"Bibrowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Science and Research Center of Body Posture, Kazimiera Milanowska College of Education and Therapy, 61-473 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jaros\u0142aw","family":"Prusak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Sciences, University of Applied Sciences in Nowy Targ, 34-400 Nowy Targ, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bart\u0142omiej","family":"G\u0105sienica-Walczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Sciences, University of Applied Sciences in Nowy Targ, 34-400 Nowy Targ, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3714-3676","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Ogrodzka-Ciechanowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Rehabilitation, Faculty of Motor Rehabilitation, University of Physical Culture in Krakow, 31-571 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"15030","DOI":"10.1038\/nrdp.2015.30","article-title":"Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis","volume":"24","author":"Cheng","year":"2015","journal-title":"Nat.
