| Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common three-dimensional spinal deformity, which affects the health of many teenagers, especially mild cases are often overlooked. The deformity of AIS will not only change the direction of posture, but also lead to the appearance of pathological gait patterns. The formation of scoliosis is closely related to the lateral deviation of vertebral and poor three-dimensional alignment, which leads to the structural and morphological changes of trunk and pelvis. The foot is part of the kinetic chain that connects the lower limbs to the spine through the pelvis, and changes in foot posture can affect the distribution of plantar loads in AIS patients, potentially leading to the decline of balance ability and the further aggravation of scoliosis. This review deeply explores the influence mechanism of mild AIS on foot posture and the influence of foot posture on the balance of spine and pelvic coronal plane in AIS, so as to provide theoretical basis for clinical intervention and future research direction, with a view to providing new ideas for the management of mild AIS patients. |
