The Effect of Asymmetric Spinal Stabilization Exercise on Scoliosis

Not Applicable

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Scoliosis Idiopathic
• Interventions: Behavioral: asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise

• Registration Number: NCT03497520
• Lead Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise on scoliosis

Detailed Description

* Design: Prospective study

* Setting: hospital rehabilitation department

* Intervention: Participants are educated asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise along scoliosis curve patterns, including the location of apex and the direction of convexity. After performing asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise, participants are compared the main outcome measures.

* Main outcome measures: Cobb angle, Apical vertebral rotation in Adam's test, surface EMG, Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) quastionnaire

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
scoliosis patients	asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise	scoliosis patients who have cobb angle over 10 degree perform asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
surface electromyography	through study completion, an average of 6 months	surface muscle contraction of bilateral spinal muscle on T7, T12, L3
cobb angle	through study completion, an average of 6 months	measure lateral curve of vertebra on spine x-ray AP view
Apical vertebral rotation	through study completion, an average of 1 year	angle of trunk rotation in Adam's test

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) quastionnaire	through study completion, an average of 1 year	five different factors (pain, self-image/appearance, function/activity, mental health, and satisfaction with management, 5 = best; 1 = worst)the minimum and maximum score range is from 5 to 25
