title: Analysis of postural stability following posterior spinal fusion in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
abstract: This study uses experimental data acquired from adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis to assess their postural control during quiet standing before and after posterior spinal fusion. Statistically significant differences were seen when comparing the pre- and post-surgical measures of balance calculated from data for three different test conditions.
