Brief Summary

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of myofascial release on spinal curvature, premenstrual symptoms, and quality of life in scoliotic females with dysmenorrhea

Conditions

Scoliosis Idiopathic Adolescent; Dysmenorrhea; Premenstrual Syndrome; Quality of Life

Keywords

Scoliosis , dysmenorrhea, Myofascial release, pre Menstrual symptoms

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Assessment of trunk rotation and rib hump by Scoliometer.

  Scoliometer will be used to measure trunk rotation and rib hump of each female in both groups (A\&B) at starting and after the end of the treatment course. The most common method to screen for significant scoliosis is the forward bend test, which is often combined with the use of a sociometer

  Eight weeks.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Premenstrual symptoms were assessed using MSQ questionnaire.

  Eight weeks.

• Assessment of quality of life by ISYQOL QUESTIONNAIRE (Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life (ISYQOL) Measuring Spine Related Quality of Life)

  Eight weeks.

Control group

EXPERIMENTAL

(Control group): will consist of 26 young females . They will receive traditional exercises for scoliosis.

Other: Traditional exercises for scoliosis treatment.

(Study group)

EXPERIMENTAL

(Study group): will consist of 26 young females. They will receive the same traditional scoliosis exercises in addition to myofascial release ( MFR ) .

Other: Myofascial release.; Other: Traditional exercises for scoliosis treatment.

Interventions

Myofascial release. OTHER

Myofascial release (MFR) is a therapeutic treatment that uses gentle pressure and stretching to facilitate the release of fascial restrictions caused by accidents, injury, stress, repetitive use, and traumatic or surgical scarring. The fascial restrictions are palpated by the practitioner and the techniques are applied directly to the skin of the patient without lotions or oils. The pressure is applied into the direction of the restriction just until resistance is felt or the tissue is perceived to stop moving. The pressure is sustained at this point of resistance, without sliding over the skin or forcing the tissue, for a minimum of 90-120s. As the tissue begins to release, the practitioner maintains the same amount of pressure and follows the release three dimensionally through multiple releases.

(Study group)

Traditional exercises for scoliosis treatment. OTHER

The exercises are: 1. Pelvic tilt. 2. Arm and leg raises. 3. Cat-cow. 4. Bird dog. 5. Latismus dorsi stretch. 6. Abdominal press. 7. Practice a good posture. 8. Stretching and scapular exercises.
