ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has a great negative impact on the physical and mental health of patients; thus, a range of effective, timely interventions are urgently needed. Currently, there is a lack of evidence to illustrate the effect of balance training in patients with AIS, and the traditional AIS therapy often ignores the recovery in balance function of patients with AIS.OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of balance training combined with Schroth therapy among adolescent with mild idiopathic scoliosis.METHODS:
59 adolescents (aged 10 to 18, 35.59% male) with idiopathic scoliosis were selected and divided into an intervention group (n= 30) and a control group (n= 29). Participants in both groups received routine rehabilitation treatment based on Schroth therapy, and balance training was added in the intervention group. The duration of treatment for both groups was 6 weeks. The Trunk Rotation Angle (ATR), Cobb angle, Scoliosis Research Society 22 (SRS-22) scale and balance function of the two groups were evaluated at baseline and after the intervention.RESULTS:
No significant difference of outcomes were observed between groups at baseline (P> 0.05). After 6 weeks of intervention, the ATR, Cobb angle, SRS-22 and balance function of the two groups improved significantly compared with those before treatment (P< 0.05), and the intervention group had a significant improvement than the control group (P< 0.05).CONCLUSION:
Balance training combined with Schroth therapy for adolescents with mild idiopathic scoliosis can significantly improve ATR, Cobb angle and quality of life, as well as overall balance function.Palavras-chave
