A Suggested Rehabilitation Protocol for the Treatment of C-shape Scoliosis
A Suggested Rehabilitation Protocol for the Treatment of C-shape Scoliosis: a Randomized Control Trial
Cairo University
70 participants
Jul 1, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
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.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- Adult individuals aged 18 to 30 years (after complete ossification and before the start of the ageing process and joint changes) as mentioned in studies.
- Thoracolumbar scoliosis with Cobb angle between 10 to 30 degrees because a curve below 10 degrees has no effect and above 30 is indicated for surgery.
Exclusion Criteria9
- History of orthopaedic surgeries.
- History of road traffic accidents (RTA).
- Myopathy.
- True leg length discrepancy.
- Neuropathy.
- Mental disorders.
- Bone tumor.
- Heart disease or circulatory problems.
- Early osteoporosis.

Interventions
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.
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.
