http://journals.lww.com/spinejournal/pages/articleviewer.aspx?year=1983&issue=07000&article=00002&type=abstract while the patients with the larger curves had significantly larger convex side myoelectric activities in their anterior, lateral and posterior muscles at lumbar levels compared to the normal girls. The findings of this study, along with biomechanical model analyses, suggest that the asymmetries in muscle actions evidenced by myoelectric measurements result from scoliosis. Scoliosis progression seems not to be caused by asymmetry in muscle contractions; rather it may be caused by a lack of adequate asymmetry.
