Brief Summary

There has been much effort in recent years to better understand the causes of idiopathic scoliosis (IS). Some studies suggested muscle imbalance as a cause of scoliosis based on asymmetric muscular activation. Surface electromyography can evaluate asymmetrical muscular weakness. Therefore, the peak amplitude values can be used to compare the side to side differences in paraspinal muscles. From these findings the investigators improve the exercise method of IS according to muscle weakness and curve pattern.

Conditions

Idiopathic Scoliosis

Keywords

surface EMG, cobb angle, exercise, Spinal Curvatures

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Cobb angle

  the angle of curvature be measured by drawing lines parallel to the upper border of the upper vertebral body and the lower border of the lowest vertebra of the structural curve on plain radiography

  through study completion, an average of 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22)

  through study completion, an average of 6 months

Study Arms (1)

asymmetrical stabilization exercise group

EXPERIMENTAL

'asymmetrical stabilization exercise' patient learn asymmetrical stabilization exercise according to the asymmetrical paraspinal muscles weakness and curve type

Behavioral: asymmetrical stabilization exercise

Interventions

asymmetrical stabilization exercise BEHAVIORAL

Exercise is combined to form an appropriate combination of motion (Side-lying, Bird-dog, Prone arm lift, Prone leg lift) according to the curve pattern and muscle weakness of each patient's.
