Summary

The goal of this clinical trial\] is to explore the clinical effect of laser acupuncture combined with Schroth training on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) . The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* The effects of Schroth exercises on Cobb angles, angle of trunk rotation, spinal mobility, gait parameters and clinical efficacy in patients with AIS.
* Laser acupuncture combined with Schroth method on Cobb angles, angle of trunk rotation, spinal mobility, gait parameters and clinical efficacy in patients with AIS.

Participants will received Schroth exercise therapy and laser acupuncture therapy (MLS laser).

If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare received Schroth exercise therapy to see the effects of Schroth exercises and laser acupuncture combined with Schroth method on Cobb angles, angle of trunk rotation, spinal mobility, gait parameters and clinical efficacy in patients with AIS

Conditions

  • Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
  • Laser Acupuncture

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Schroth exercise therapy

The Schroth classification criteria includes four curve patterns that are determined with reference to the location of the curves, the importance of lumbar and thoracic prominences, and the effect of the scoliosis on the pelvis.

DEVICE

laser therapy

Laser therapy was performed w ith a dual wavelength, high power IR laser (Multiwave Locked System (MLS®) laser, Mphi, ASA srl, Vicenza, Italy) and the laser acupuncture points include DU2, GB30, DU9, SP6, LR8, DU6, DU4, DU12. Laser puncture acupuncture points had been identified according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and treated with handpiece optical group following the detailed treatment parameters: 900Hz, FPW mode, 60 s per point, 29.12J, spot size 3 cm2, energy density 27J/cm2. All treatments are performed five times in a week for 4 consecutive weeks.
