Conservative Management for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Orthotic Management for Controlling Scoliotic Curve Progression in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Umm Al-Qura University

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Idiopathic scoliosis is a living problem that resists correction. The underlying cause of the such disorder is unknown but directed more toward muscular disorders. However recent clinical observation showed a possible neuromuscular compromise early in those patients. The main purpose of this study is to develop a treatment procedure to correct the degree of bony curvature in patients with Idiopathic scoliosis through developing a neuromuscular corrective approach that might be a more effective conservative treatment protocol for such disorder.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria6
- Adolescents of both sexes with an age range between 10-17 years.
- They were diagnosed with Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis by an orthopedic specialist, confirmed through (loaded) X- rays.

- They have Single major thoracolumbar curve located between T6-7 to L1-2, apex at T12 or L1.
- They have good health conditions except for scoliosis.
- They can understand and communicate with no mental abnormalities.
Exclusion Criteria9

- Participants with nutritional disorders e.g. diabetes or vascular disorders.
- Participants with a scoliotic curve with angle \> 25° will be excluded.

- Participants who were subjected to any corrective surgery to their spine within the previous two years.
- Participants will be also excluded if their skin were sensitive or inflamed to any materials used.

Interventions
Adolescents in the control group will receive a scoliosis-specific exercise program which will be prescribed to control the progression of the scoliotic curve. This exercise program will include frontal plane active or passive correction exercises for scoliotic posture. The exercise program for every participant will be three sessions per week for 12 successive weeks. Every treatment session was applied for one hour.The exercise program for every participant will be three sessions per week for 12 successive weeks. Every treatment session was applied for one hour. The exercise program for every participant will be three sessions per week for 12 successive weeks. Every treatment session was applied for one hour.
Adolescents in the experimental group will receive a scoliosis-specific exercises program which will be prescribed to control the progression of the scoliotic curve in addition to wearing the soft orthoses with external strapping. The wearing schedule of the soft orthosis with the external strapping for every participant in this group will be 12 hours daily for 12 successive weeks.
