Summary

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of mechanical traction and 3D apical vertebral mobilization and active exercises on Cobb's angle, spinal ROM, and function in patients with C-shaped scoliosis.

Detailed description

Scoliosis is a skeletal issue causing asymmetries, leading to functional disruptions. Common symptoms include uneven eye tilt, drop asloped shoulder, and muscle imbalances. These changes can affect the patient's physical appearance and psychological state. Current treatments have shown suboptimal results due to the lack of accepted scientific theories for idiopathic scoliosis. Therefore, a new therapeutic approach is needed to provide novel insights and improve treatment outcomes. This underscores the need for a more comprehensive approach to scoliosis treatment.

Conditions

• Idiopathic Scoliosis
• Scoliosis Idiopathic
• Rehabilitation
• C-shape

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	traction and mobilization	The patient undergoes a 15-minute infrared therapy session, followed by flexibility and stretching exercises targeting the trunk and four extremities muscles. Land manipulation techniques are used for cervical, dorsal, and lumbar spine to assess and treat spinal dysfunctions. Deep breathing exercises with rib mobilization are also performed to promote respiratory function and thoracic flexibility. The session aims to improve overall health.
OTHER	active exercise therapy	Patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will receive exercise programs from seven major schools under SOSORT, focusing on realigning the spine, rib cage, shoulders, and pelvis to normal anatomical postures.
