“…Abnormalities in the paraspinal muscles have been implicated by several investigators as a possible causative factor in the production and progression of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (Fidler et al, 1974;Fidler & Jowett, 1976;Ford et al, 1984;Spenser & Eccles, 1976;Yarom & Robin, 1979). An increased myoelectric response on the convex side of the curve, near its apex, was the main finding reported by various authors ( Alexander & Season, 1978;Butterworth & James, 1969;Guth & Abbink, 1980;Henssge, 1962;Redford et al, 1969;Spenser & Eccles, 1976;Wong et al, 1980;Yarom & Robin, 1979;Zetterberg et al, 1984), but not all agreed on the meaning of these findings. In early reports a fatigue mechanism was suggested (Riddle & Roaf, 1955), while others explained the difference as an effect of the stretching of the erector spinae muscles on the convex side (Butterworth & James, 1969).…”

“…Other authors, including Aleksander et al [34], Güth and Abbink [26], and Weiss et al [35], did not notice idiopathic resting activity in the form of fibrillation, fasciculation, or positive waves in scoliosis. In addition, Güth and Abbink [26] believe that these phenomena are not evidence of de-innervation unless they are found in many places in the muscle under examination.…”

“…Meanwhile, Güth and Abbink [26] found differences of bioelectrical activity in the paravertebral muscles in the case of non-aggressive curvatures during static and dynamic loading of the upper limbs. When performing maximal isometric work, the differences in bioelectrical activity between the convex and concave sides are smaller, which suggests that in idiopathic scoliosis, the etiological agent must not be muscle weakness on the side of the concave curvature.…”

The Relationship between the Angle of Curvature of the Spine and SEMG Amplitude of the Erector Spinae in Young School-Children

The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between the angle of spinal curvature and surface electromyography (SEMG) amplitude of the erector spinae in young school-children. A total of 251 children aged 7–8 participated in the study. The analysis involved 103 (41%) children with scoliosis, 141 (56.17%) with scoliotic posture, and seven (3.0%) with normal posture. Body posture was evaluated using the Diers formetric III 4D optoelectronic method. Analysis of SEMG amplitude of the erector spinae was performed with the Noraxon TeleMyo DTS apparatus. A significant correlation was found between the angle of spinal curvature and the SEMG amplitude of the erector spinae. The most important and statistically significant predictor of the SEMG amplitude and scoliosis angle in the scoliosis group was the standing position, chest segment, right side. The largest generalized SEMG amplitude of the erector spinae occurred in both boys and girls with scoliosis. Impaired balance of muscle tension in the erector spinae can trigger a set of changes that create a clinical and anatomopathological image of spinal curvature.

Somato-sensory evoked potentials (SSEP) were found to be pathological mostly in the lower extremities in 26 out of 45 children suffering from so called idiopathic scoliosis. We examined the vertebral spine and the spinal cord of 8 of them (with controlled SSEP-findings) by use of conventional MR-imaging and (where necessary) 3-dimensional-data-set following the Fournier-procedure. 6 of the 8 children showed alterations as follows: 1. A lipoma spreading partly extra-, partly intraspinally. 2. Subligamentous protrusions of the intervertebral disc (2 patients). 3. Dysraphic processes (2 patients). 4. An abnormally cranial ending myelon surrounded by a widened spinal channel. The findings are demonstrated and discussed concerning the questions whether the pathological SSEP and, furthermore, the deformity of the vertebral spine could be explained thereby. We are at least able to prove that some of the children with so called idiopathic scoliosis show pathological evoked potentials and MRI-findings.
