In adulthood, the majority of patients with scoliosis suffer
from back pain, and if the curve progresses to be very
large, even pulmonary dysfunction and psychological distress
can occur10). The aim of mild scoliosis treatment is
to prevent the aggravation of the deformity and pain and
pulmonary dysfunction over the course of a lifetime11).
Scoliosis can be largely divided into a structural and
nonstructural type. The former indicates a curved spine
with a rotated vertebra, while the latter shows a symptom of
a flat back in trunk flexion and no rotation of the vertebra.
Nonstructural scoliosis may accompany pain and muscle
spasm may be caused by leg length discrepancy12). Therefore,
it might cause abnormal vital dynamics in the musculoskeletal
system around the spine and muscle imbalance in
the area, and possibly aggravate the scoliosis. Accordingly,
it might affect temporomandibular joint mobility, in addition
to lumbar and thoracic parts, which is influenced by
cervical movement. With this as the background, this study
examined the change in the range of motion (ROM) of the
temporomandibular joint (TMJ) resulting from a decreased
degree of mild scoliosis curvanture
