Stabilization of progressive thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis using brace treatment and DoboMed physiotherapy

چکیده
Materials and methods Twenty-eight consecutive pre-menarchial girls aged 10 to 14 years (mean 12.6 ± 1.1 years) started a treatment plan for thoracic idiopathic scoliosis, having radiological proof of progression. Eighteen of them had an additional structural lumbar curvature. The Cobb angle revealed a magnitude of 21.0° to 40.0° (mean 30.8° ± 5.5°) in the thoracic curvature and 17.0° to 40.0° (mean 29.1° ± 8.2°) in the lumbar curvature. The Perdriolle angle of axial rotation of the apical vertebra was between 2.0° and 28.0° (mean 8.7° ± 5.6°) in the thoracic curvature and between 4.0° and 30.0° (mean 11.9° ± 8.8°) in the lumbar curvature.

Introduction Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSE) and bracing have been found to be effective in the stabilization of curves in patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Yet, the difference among the many PSSEs and braces has not been studied. The present review attempts to investigate the role of curve correction in the outcome of treatment for PSSEs and braces. M...

Material and methods Forty girls with AIS (range of Cobb angle 15-35 degree) were examined. The group was divided into two randomized subgroups “D”(N=18) and “DK” (N=22). DoboMed was applied in group “D” (only). DoboMed and manual therapy was applied in the group “DK”. Derotational stretch mobilization techniques in selected segments of thoracic spine were used as preparation for DoboMed’s exer...
