The Effect of Cobb s Angle on Plantar Pressure Index on Patient with Idiopathic Scoliosis

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the idiopathic scoliosis and plantar pressure index. Ninety~six candidates visited a Hanseo University Oriental Hospital performed whole spine X-ray to divide into scoliosis or non-scoliosis groups. Scoliosis group was comprised of forty-one members and non-scoliosis group was comprised of fifty-five members. Cobb s angle was measured by XmaruChiro software and plantar pressure index was obtained by 3D BodyViewTM Imaging System. All the data was compiled and corrected, and then the data was inputted into the IBM SPSS Statistics 19 program for analysis. The study showed that the correlation coefficient between scoliosis and plantar pressure index appeared as a positive value(p < 0.05). Idiopathic scoliosis patients with a spinal curvature of greater than 10° had a lower arch of the foot. In conclusion, plantar pressure index should be useful in diagnosing and efficient treatment plan for scoliosis patients.
