- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The project has aimed to assess significant changes in measures of spinal deformity, lordosis in the sagittal plane, and the Cobb angle provided by a program of physical exercise group.;Decreased spinal deformity, between 1st and 2nd assessment in all segments of the spine, with the difference of 0.15 cm in the thoracic, 0.45 cm in thoracolumbar and lumbar 0.25 cm.<br>In measurements of lordosis in the sagittal plane, the results showed a decrease only as I regarding cephalic cervical lordosis, with 0.05 cm difference between assessments. In other measures an increase of 0.45 cm, 0.05 cm and 0.2 cm, respectively.<br>The Cobb angle measured in 3 participants also showed decreased values ??of thoracic (1.5°) and lumbar (3.5°) bends.<br>The figures showed that there was a decrease in most measurements, but when correlated with the number of meetings held by participants these changes were not statistically significant.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The exercise program was able to cause changes in spinal deformity measurements evaluated, the lordosis and sagittal Cobb angle in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. There was a significant difference only in the thoracolumbar spinal deformity, which decreased, and MIV, which increased, and may be associated with lack of control postural deformity or changes. However, the mean of the measurements show that after the intervention the trend is a decrease in forward head posture, gain thoracic kyphosis, which in most individuals this rectified, and improvement of the scoliotic curve shown by Cobb angle. However, for greater results requires that individuals have not reached skeletal maturity and home exercises are performed daily for maintenance or regression of scoliosis.
