Mobilisation of neural structures opens up new possibilities for idiopathic scoliosis treatment

چکیده

Background Idiopathic Scoliosis (IS) is a progressive disorder with reduced mobility of the spine. This makes corrections difficult or sometimes even inhibits postural changes. Even when correction of frontal or coronal plane deformity seems successful, sagittal correction mostly is not addressed appropriately. This might be due to functional tethering of the spinal cord or even of peripheral neural structures. This explains the lack of success when trying to correct sagittal plane deformity with the help of stretching exercises. Purpose of this study was to test how the release of these structures may relax lordotic tension in the thoracic area.
