Evaluating the Effectiveness of sEMG Biofeedback for Posture Training and Scoliosis Management.
Article in BioMed research international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Digital devices, particularly smartphones and tablets, are used by the vast majority of the global population. This usage often causes the head to tilt forward, placing significant strain on the neck and shoulders. While this posture adversely affects healthy individuals, it is particularly problematic for scoliosis patients, exacerbating spinal deformation. Therefore, this study evaluates the effectiveness of a 30-session surface electromyography (sEMG) biofeedback posture training program for managing spinal curvature progression in adolescents with mild scoliosis. The program is aimed at reducing imbalanced paraspinal muscle activity and controlling curvature progression. Prior to training, a significant muscle activity imbalance was observed. Posttraining, however, muscle activity becomes more balanced, with significant improvements noted in the latissimus dorsi and thoracic erector spinae muscles. It also demonstrates that the training may assist in stabilizing scoliosis progression. These findings suggest that sEMG biofeedback posture training can be an effective intervention for adolescents with mild scoliosis. However, further research is needed to confirm the findings and explore the intervention's long-term effects.
