چکیده
[Purpose] To report the effects of consecutive application of stretching, Schroth, and strengthening exercises in an adult with idiopathic scoliosis. [Subject] A 26-year-old woman with idiopathic scoliosis, Cobb's angle of 20.51°, and back pain. [Methods] The exercise program consisted of 3 sessions: 10 minutes of stretching exercises, 20 minutes of Schroth exercises, and 10 minutes of strengthening exercises. This program was implemented 3 times a week, for 8 weeks. [Results] The thoracic Cobb's angle decreased from 20.51° to 16.35°, and the rib hump decreased from 15° to 9°. [Conclusion] Consecutive application of stretching, Schroth, and strengthening exercises may help reduce Cobb's angle and the rib hump in adults with idiopathic scoliosis.
