Effectiveness of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization for Stability and Gait in Idiopathic Scoliosis .

Effectiveness of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization approach in lumbopelvic stability and gait parameters in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis: A randomized controlled trial.

Medicine (Baltimore) . 2025 Mar 21;104(12):e41905.

Twenty-eight patients with mild to moderate idiopathic scoliosis were randomized to receive either dynamic neuromuscular stabilization plus core stability exercises (n=15) or core stability exercises alone (n=15). The primary outcome of interest was lumbopelvic stability, assessed via single leg squat. Secondary outcomes included core stability using the Sahrmann Core Stability Test, and gait parameters such as duration, cadence, stride length, and pelvic dynamics. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and after six weeks. Overall, the results of the study revealed significant improvements in lumbopelvic and core stability in both groups, with no statistically significant differences between groups. Gait parameters improved in both groups, but the changes were minimal and not significantly different. These findings suggest that while DNS enhances core and lumbopelvic stability, its short-term addition does not confer additional gait benefits compared to core exercises alone.
