Scoliosis, the most common orthopaedic problem in children
and adolescents [1], is only a spinal deformity, but also leads to the
development of a pathological gait pattern. Nearly all studies
examining walking in scoliotic patients report some gait abnormality,
however the results are somewhat contradictory. Mahaudens
and co-workers found that step length is decreased in
scoliotic patients in comparison with their peers [2,3]. Reductions
were also observed in the ranges of motion of the pelvis, hip and
shoulder in frontal plane, and knee in sagittal plane [3]. In contrast
to these findings Chen and co-workers stated that, despite the poor
postural stability of this group of patients, their gait patterns do not
differ from normal [4]. A further study reports that scoliotic
patients walk with decreased cadence, decreased pelvic range of
motion in the transverse plane and a normal step length [5].
Another study found normal cadence, increased pelvic motion and
decreased step length
