Evaluation of Latissimus Dorsi Muscle During Isometric Exercises in Scoliosis

"Evaluation of Muscle Activation The sEMG device, which is a surface EMG system (Myomonitor, Delsys Inc, Boston, MA), was used to measure the lateral and medial muscle activation levels of the latissimus dorsi.~Electrode placement was determined according to SENIAM (Surface Electromyography for Non-Invasive Evaluation of Muscles) criteria.~Evaluation of the Gibbosity Trunk rotation (gibbosity) assessments were performed using Adam's test and using a scoliometer . The bending test (Adam's test) is performed in both standing and forward bending positions. The standing version was used in our study.Each measurement equal to 0° on the scoliometer was defined as symmetry at the measured level of the trunk. All other scoliometer values were defined as asymmetry.~Evaluation of the Cobb Angle Cobb angles of the curves of the individuals participating in the study were measured with the MicroDicom application."
