Abstract

It is concluded that the development of scoliosis is due to muscle imbalance, the weaker muscles being on the convex side of the curve. It is suggested that the increased electrical activity in the muscles on the convex side is secondary to the scoliosis, being part of the body's attempt to compensate for the curvature.
