happen in patients with smaller curves. Along with spinal deformity, patients may also have skeletal abnormalities. Skeletal muscle abnormalities in patients with AIS include muscle spindle, muscle fiber morphology, histochemistry, electromyography, sarcolemma abnormalities, calcium, copper and zinc concentrations, and platelets, all of which are related to asymmetrical muscle loading (Machida, 1999).

The muscle we focused on was the gastrocnemius muscle during a calf raise. A calf muscle strain is graded…

At deceleration, these muscles will contract, while being promptly lengthened. Therefore, they are performing eccentric contractions (Garrett et al, 1990.). It is well established that repeated eccentric contractions have the potential to damage muscle fibres (Armstrong et al,…
