Schroth Exercise Versus Functional Electrical Stimulation in Adolescent With Spinal Deformities

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Idiopathic Spinal Deformities
• Interventions: Other: Functional Electrical Stimulation (physiotherapy techniques); Other: Schroth Exercise

• Registration Number: NCT05090436
• Lead Sponsor: Delta University for Science and Technology

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).

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Functional Electrical Stimulation	Functional Electrical Stimulation (physiotherapy techniques)	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.
Schroth Exercise	Schroth Exercise	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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
cobb angle	by the end of successful two month of intervention	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
