Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to compare the effects of core stabilization exercises versus schroth's program on posture and quality of life in females with idiopathic scoliosis

Conditions

Scoliosis Idiopathic

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Scoliosis Research Society-22 questionnaire

  It is a standardized questionnaire designed by scoliosis research society to measure the quality of life in scoliosis patients. Each item is scored from 1 (worst) to 5 (best). Each domain has a total sum score ranging from 5 to 25, except for satisfaction, which ranges from 2 to 10. The sum of the first 4 domains gives a maximum subtotal of 100, and when the satisfaction domain is included, the maximum total is 110.

  4 week

Study Arms (2)

Core stability exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

The core stability training consist of three phases. The first and second phases each will last for three weeks in total, and the third phase will take place in four weeks. Each training session will begin with 10 minutes of warm-up exercises and finish with 10 minutes of cool-down exercises; both warm-up and cool-down exercises includes breathing and stretching exercises. The number of repetitions will be adjusted according to the participant's exercise tolerance. During the first week of each phase, the number of repetitions of each exercise will be 7-10, and this will progress to 10-15 based on the patient's physical tolerance.

Other: Core stability exercise

Scroth's program

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The Schroth program include exercises for rotational breathing, spinal elongation, de-flexion, stretching, de-rotation, and strengthening, and these exercises are performed to improve the curvature, muscle strength, and endurance of postural muscles. During the Schroth exercises, rice bags, foam blocks, a stool, and long sticks will be used to adjust the posture and give passive support. The intensity of the Schroth exercises will gradually increased depending on the patient's improvement in exercise performance by decreasing the amount or degree of passive support, changing the patient's position, and adjusting the sets and repetitions of exercises

Other: Scroth's Program
