Comparison of Difference of Gait Analysis in Scoliosis Patient and Normal Person

The main purpose of this study is to analyze the gait of normal person and scoliosis patient through Optojump system. There were 44 participants randomly selected and investigated. The Cobb s angle was used to measure the scoliosis and statistically analyzed. The results were as follows; There is no significant difference on stance phase between the experiment group and the control group (p>0.05). And there is no significant difference on swing phase between the experiment group and the control group (p>0.05). The stance phase and the swing phase studies showed a high correlation (r=0.97, r=0.90). In conclusion, this study showed there were no difference between an experiment and a control groups due to mild scoliosis curves (mean 16°±5) and 2 minutes time limit on a treadmill without any incline levels. The further study was suggested with various scoliosis condition and time limits.
