Summary

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of two different exercises in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. In total, 28 subjects with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were randomly divided into two groups: Schroth (n = 14) and stabilization group (n = 14). The Schroth group received Schroth exercises in addition to traditional rehabilitation, and the stabilization group received core stabilization in addition to traditional rehabilitation for 10 weeks. The outcome measures were based on Cobb angle, angle of trunk rotation, spinal mobility, cosmetic trunk deformity, muscle strength, and quality of life.

Conditions

  • Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Interventions

OTHER

Schroth Exercises

The Schroth approach consists of 3D scoliosis-specific exercises based on kinesthetic and sensorimotor principles. The goal of Schroth exercises is to teach patients to consciously maintain the correct posture in daily living activities in order to improve the curve, pain, and self-image. The treatment program consists of scoliotic posture correction and a breathing pattern with the help of proprioceptive and exteroceptive stimulations and mirror control. Traditional exercises program included strengthening back, abdominal, pelvis and shoulder girdle muscles and also muscles in the convex side of the curve, stretching exercises especially for the concave side of the curve, postural training, flexibility exercises for the spine, and breathing exercises. Schroth group received Schroth exercises in addition to traditional rehabilitation for 10 weeks. Patients received 30 sessions for 90 minutes at the clinic for ten-week treatment period.

OTHER

Core stabilization Exercises

Each exercise session consisted of a warm-up exercise, core stabilization exercise, and a cool-down exercise. The core stabilization exercise was designed with consideration of local, global muscle stability training, global muscle mobility training,and strengthening training of these core structures was carried out progressively advancing more difficult. Traditional exercises program included strengthening back, abdominal, pelvis and shoulder girdle muscles and also muscles in the convex side of the curve, stretching exercises especially for the concave side of the curve, postural training, flexibility exercises for the spine, and breathing exercises. The Stabilization group received Core stabilization in addition to traditional rehabilitation for 10 weeks. Patients received 30 sessions for 90 minutes at the clinic for ten-week treatment period.
