The Type of Conservative Management Could Be Related to the Strength of the Inspiratory Muscles of Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis—A Case Series

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a lateral curvature of the spine with a Cobb angle of at least 10° with an unknown etiology. It is recognized that AIS may affect respiratory function. This study aims to describe and compare respiratory function in a case series of patients with scoliosis wh...
