About this study

This study enrolled adults with VCF (VCF group), older adult without spinal deformity (NE group), and young adults (NY group). The Biodex balance system was employed to calculate the balance score and the LOS of participants. An inertia motion system was used to record kinematic data. The center of pressure (COP) signals of postural stability and LOS were used to calculate the frequency power spectrum for interpreting the sensory component.

Primary outcomes

  1. Postural Stability

    Time frame: 90 second

    A balance system was employed to calculate the standing posture sway score.A high score was indicative of excessive movement during the test and thus, poor stability. The range of value was 0.3- 4.1.

  2. limits of stability

    Time frame: 1-2 minutes

    patients shift their center of gravity from the center target to a blinking target and back to the center target.This process was repeated for each of the 9 targets. A high score was indicative of fine direction control.The range of value was 21- 66.

  3. Kinematic Data

    Time frame: 5 minutes

    The movements of the head, upper spine, lower spine, pelvis,hip, thigh, and knee were measured using 6 inertial measurement units.

  4. timed up-and-go test

    Time frame: 90 second

    sit-stand-walk-180° turning-walk and sitting down task
