Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of schroth method and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques on pain, mobility, and quality of life in patients with idiopathic scoliosis.
Detailed Description
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity that causes the spine to curve sideways. The most common type of scoliosis is "idiopathic," which means the exact cause is unknown. It accounts for approximately 85% of cases. The prevalence rate of 2-5% with a Cobb angle greater than 10 degrees. All previous studies in which schroth method with other different techniques has been performed have shown greater improvement in the management of scoliosis. However, there is no clinical significance work on the Comparative effect of the schroth method and PNF. Previous literature showed no significant improvement in mobility and quality of life. This study aims to find evidence of clinical significance work on effects of Schroth method and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique on pain, mobility, and quality of life in patients with idiopathic scoliosis in both gender

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Participants with Lenke curve type 1 scoliosis and other types of scoliotic curve magnitude will be included.
- •Cobb angle 10-30
Exclusion Criteria
- •Participants with any surgical and traumatic history of spine
- •Participants prescribed with brace treatment

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Goniometer for range of motion
Time Frame: 3rd week
It will be used to measure flexion, extension, and lateral flexion of the spine.
SRS-22 questionnaire for quality of life
Time Frame: 3rd week
It includes five domains: self-image, function, pain, mental health (five questions each), and satisfaction with treatment (two questions) to assess the quality of life with scoliosis.
NPRS for pain
Time Frame: 3rd week
The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).
