The results showed significant differences in trunk kinematics between the two groups during both stair ascent and descent tasks. The utilization of the "multisegment spine model" facilitates the acquisition of motion information across multiple segments of the spine in patients diagnosed with IS, effectively enhancing the assessment outcomes derived from imaging information. The three-dimensional structural deformity in the trunk affects both static and dynamic activity patterns. In different activity states, IS patients demonstrate stiff movements in certain segments while experiencing compensatory instability in others. In the future, clinical rehabilitation programs for IS should prioritize stair-related activity training.
