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
  • Subjects with Non-idiopathic scoliosis
  • Subjects with any systematic disease e.g. (cardiovascular, vestibular, rheumatological, neuromuscular and pulmonary disease)

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).
