Abstract

The present study was designed to investigate the involvement of central nervous system (CNS) in the pathogenesis of idiopathic scoliosis.Seventeen female patients with right thoracic idiopathic scoliosis (mean age = 13.36y) and ten normal controls (mean age =12.6y) entered the study. Magnetic stimulation of the brain was performed. Threshold measurements included upper (UT) and lower threshold (LT). Cortical latencies of MEPs during muscle activation were also measured.
