ABSTRACT
(1) Background:
Idiopathic scoliosis can be defined as a complex three-dimensional deformity of the spine and trunk, which occurs in basically healthy children. Schroth scoliosis-specific exercises have shown good results in reducing idiopathic scoliosis progression. This study aimed to critically evaluate the effect size of Schroth's method through a systematic review and meta-analysis. (2)Methods:
Four databases were included in the search PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The following keywords were used "Schroth exercise", "idiopathic scoliosis", "Cobb angle", "angle of trunk rotation", and "quality of life". Only articles written in English that met the following criteria were included in our study subjects who had idiopathic scoliosis, the Schroth method was applied, and Cobb angle or angle of trunk rotation or quality of life as outcomes. (3)Results:
Ten randomized controlled trials were included in this study. The effect size of the Schroth exercise ranged from almost moderate to large, for the outcomes used Cobb angle (ES = -0.492, p Ë 0.005); ATR (ES = -0.471, p = 0.013); QoL (ES = 1.087, p Ë 0.001). (4)Conclusions:
The current meta-analysis indicates that the Schroth method has a positive effect on subjects with idiopathic scoliosis.Palavras-chave
