What is actually happening inside the "cone of economy": compensatory mechanisms during a dynamic balance test.

ADS patients have larger CoE dimensions and increased sway when compared to non-scoliotic controls. ADS patients rely on a hip balance control "strategy" and lower extremity RoM to maintain balance, which differed from control subjects. Unlike prior attempts to define compensatory mechanisms in ADS patients, the described technique utilizes dynamic, three-dimensional measurements to define what is occurring within the CoE. By expanding on prior CoE measurements, we were able to define a unique dynamic balance control strategy for each patient.
