The study comprised 54 girls aged 11 years with scoliotic changes. The Clinical Test of Sensory Integration and Balance of the Biodex Balance System platform were used to analyze the deficits in sensory integration and balance. Scoliotic changes were assessed using the Diers Formetric III 4D optoelectronic method. In the present study, there was a significant relationship between sensory integration and balance deficits as well as spine curvature angle (\u00b0) (p = 0.01), vertebral surface rotation (\u00b0) (p = 0.03), pelvic tilt (\u00b0) (p = 0.02), and lateral deviation (mm) (p = 0.04). The integration of the sensory systems has a positive effect on the structure of the intended and controlled movement as well as body posture and the development of the spine. In the treatment of scoliotic changes, one should also consider exercises that improve sensory integration as well as position and balance reactions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23031172","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,20]],"date-time":"2023-01-20T02:35:55Z","timestamp":1674182155000},"page":"1172","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Deficits of Sensory Integration and Balance as Well as Scoliotic Changes in Young Schoolgirls"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2564-8623","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacek","family":"Wilczy\u0144ski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Posturology Laboratory, Collegium Medicum, Jan Kochanowski University, Ul. \u017beromskiego 5, 25-369 Kielce, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6876-5160","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natalia","family":"Habik Tatarowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Posturology Laboratory, Collegium Medicum, Jan Kochanowski University, Ul. \u017beromskiego 5, 25-369 Kielce, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7084-3308","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Mierzwa Molenda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Posturology Laboratory, Collegium Medicum, Jan Kochanowski University, Ul. \u017beromskiego 5, 25-369 Kielce, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.3310\/TQGE0020","article-title":"Sensory integration therapy for children with autism and sensory processing difficulties: The SenITA RCT","volume":"26","author":"Randell","year":"2022","journal-title":"Health Technol.
