Summary

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is one of the most common spinal deformities diagnosed in adolescents, especially female, with the prevalence in general population ranging from 0.93% to 12%, 80% of which are idiopathic. The management and treatment of AIS includes observation, physiotherapy (or therapeutic exercise), brace application, and surgery. Evidence of the conservative management of AIS has been stronger in recent years. However, the best combination therapy has not been well established. Moreover, the investigator has demonstrated an innovation of pattern-specific manual therapy to treat AIS. Different from previous conservative treatment, the investigators applied specific treatment for different patterns of AIS according to the Lehnert-Schroth (LS) scoliosis classification. Therefore, the investigators aim to determinate the long-term effects of the integrative scoliosis-specific rehabilitation program combining pattern-specific manual therapy, Schroth Best Practice (SBP) exercise, and Gensingen brace application in treating AIS patients.

combining pattern-specific manual therapy, Schroth Best Practice exercise, and Gensingen brace application

* The pattern-specific manual therapy: It was developed by our author. This therapy was done immediately before each SBP (Schroth Best Practice) exercise session, targeting both the spine and extra-spinal regions. * The Schroth Best Practice exercises: It contains following 6 components: The physio-logic® program for sagittal profile correction, education on activities of daily living (ADLs), the "3D made easy" program, the new "Power Schroth" program, the rehabilitation of walk, and neuromobilization. * The Gensingen brace application: it was made according to the patients' Lehnert Schroth Classifications. the investigators recommended the patients to wear the brace for 21-23 hours per day during the first year. As the bone maturation reached Risser 4 to 4.5, the daily brace wearing time was gradually reduced.
