“…The authors agree on the fact that regular nonintensive physical activity has a positive effect on the adolescent with IS (Omey et al, 2000), which would seem to have a beneficial effect on many parameters (Fayada et al, 1999), especially on the respiratory and muscular systems (Von Strempel et al, 1993) and on the psychological level (Freidel et al, 2002). Once a PSA has been well understood and practised, it becomes an essential complement of rehabilitation, muscular reinforcement and dynamization for the teenager (Perrin, 1996).…”

Why do idiopathic scoliosis patients participate more in gymnastics?

The influence of physical and sporting activities (PSA) on idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is still obscure. The aim of this study was to investigate whether such an influence exists and if so, to determine its characteristics. Two hundred and one teenagers with IS and a control group of 192 adolescents completed an epidemiological questionnaire. Those practising gymnastics were more numerous in the IS group than in the control group. Moreover, the practice of gymnastics was chosen before IS was diagnosed. As gymnastic activities are considered neither as a therapy nor as a precursor of IS, the distribution observed could be linked to a common factor that both increases the likelihood of IS and favors the practice of gymnastics. Joint laxity (JL) may be such a common factor, and was therefore tested (wrist and middle finger) on 42 girls with IS and 21 girls of a control group. IS patients, practising gymnastics or not, showed a higher JL than the control group practising gymnastics or not. Furthermore, the groups practising gymnastic activities did not show higher JL levels than the other groups. Children with a high JL could be drawn toward gymnastics because of their ability to adapt to the constraints of this sport. Girls with a high JL may therefore be prone to developing IS. The fact that most teenagers with IS practise gymnastics could be related to a higher JL.

“…Traditionally, stretching sports such as basketball and volleyball are recommended (Fayada et al, 1999) because they involve keeping the spine straight. However, sporting activity is not limited to these practices, all the more so as IS remains moderate.…”

“…The practice of physical and sporting activities (PSA) is necessary for children, especially those with IS, because it allows cardiovascular and proprioceptive improvement as well as reinforcement of the deep spinal muscles (Von Strempel et al, 1993; Fayada et al, 1999). Nevertheless, IS is characterized by spinal muscular and postural control alterations and, therefore, biomechanical and physiological repercussions generated by these alterations could be an explanative factor of the practised PSA choice in adolescents with IS.…”

The practice of physical and sporting activity in teenagers with idiopathic scoliosis is related to the curve type

Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is correlated with a muscular disequilibrium of the spine and an alteration of balance control, efficient performance of the latter being necessary for physical and sporting activities (PSA). However, the type of the IS curve has different effects on muscle and on balance control according to the primary curve location. This study aimed to determine the relationships between IS type and PSA practice. One hundred and sixty-nine girl adolescents with IS [double major curve (DMC) scoliosis: n=74; single major curve (SMC) scoliosis: n=95] and 100 age-matched control girl adolescents completed an epidemiological questionnaire informing on curricular and extracurricular PSA. Adolescents with DMC scoliosis practised more PSA than those with SMC scoliosis. Moreover, among all PSA referenced, gymnastic activities are the most practiced PSA both in IS teenagers, whatever the curve type, and in controls. Besides, teenagers practising gymnastics were more numerous in those with DMC scoliosis than those with SMC scoliosis and controls. The highest proportion of adolescents with DMC scoliosis practising PSA, especially gymnastics, could be linked to the fact that they are less subject to scoliosis-related biomechanical repercussions leading to a better balance control, which is essential in these PSA.
