Randomized Controlled Trial
Early Postural Stability Changes in Patients Undergoing Correction of Spinal Deformity: A Prospective, Controlled Pilot Study.
Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is a prevalent condition often requiring surgical intervention. Improved outcomes among ASD patients have been shown to correlate with postoperative spinopelvic parameters, yet little is currently known about the role of postural stability and balance assessment for ASD patients. ⋯ We report a novel early improvement in postural stability, comparable to healthy controls, following ASD correction that may be related to improved spinopelvic alignment. Force plate evaluation may be a useful tool for ASD patients postoperatively. Future clinical trials assessing the impact of postural stability on clinical and radiographic outcomes are warranted.
