No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a pilot study to lead to a larger prospective, randomized, controlled study of older adult (ages 50 and older) spinal patients with thoracolumbar/lumbar scoliosis evaluating improvement with physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercise (PSSE) compared to traditional low back physical therapy (PT).

Conditions

  • Degenerative Scoliosis

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis Specific Exercises (PSSE)

Exercises with emphasis on trunk extensor strengthening, and teaching patient better postural strategies in supine, sidelying, sitting, standing, and dynamic movements (walking, squatting), led by a PSSE-trained physical therapist.

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional Physical Therapy (PT)
