Schroth Exercise Versus Functional Electrical Stimulation in Adolescent With Spinal Deformities

NCT05090436 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: schroth exercises
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 40
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Abnormal spinal curvature can occur as a result of neurologic, orthopedic or idiopathic factors. The role of physiotherapy is not only to prevent intrinsic changes that may occur in the spine but also be used to correct postural abnormalities. this study will investigate the impact of Schroth Exercise compared to Functional Electrical Stimulation in Adolescent With Spinal Deformities (scoliosis and or kyphosis).

Conditions

Idiopathic Spinal Deformities

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• cobb angle

  The measurement of Cobb angle involves estimating the angle between the two tangents of the upper and lower end-plates of the upper and lower end vertebra, respectively.

  at the beginning of the study

• cobb angle

  The measurement of Cobb angle involves estimating the angle between the two tangents of the upper and lower end-plates of the upper and lower end vertebra, respectively

  by the end of successful two month of intervention

Study Arms (2)

Schroth Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

The Schroth Method is a nonsurgical option for scoliosis treatment. It uses exercises customized for each patient to return the curved spine to a more natural position. The goal of Schroth exercises is to de-rotate, elongate and stabilize the spine in a three-dimensional plane. it will be applied 3 session per week for 3 months.

Other: Schroth Exercise

Functional Electrical Stimulation

EXPERIMENTAL

30 minutes of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) three times a week for 3 months. Two electrodes were attached on the lateral parts of the convex side of the body, and two others on the erector spinae muscles. FES (CU-FS1; Novastim, Korea) was set at a frequency of 35 Hz, with a 250-μs pulse width. Electrical stimulation lasted for 6 seconds, followed by a 6-second rest.

Other: Functional Electrical Stimulation (physiotherapy techniques)
