简要总结
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of mechanical traction and 3D apical vertebral mobilization and active exercises on Cobb's angle, spinal ROM, and function in patients with C-shaped scoliosis.
详细描述
Scoliosis is a skeletal issue causing asymmetries, leading to functional disruptions. Common symptoms include uneven eye tilt, drop asloped shoulder, and muscle imbalances. These changes can affect the patient's physical appearance and psychological state. Current treatments have shown suboptimal results due to the lack of accepted scientific theories for idiopathic scoliosis. Therefore, a new therapeutic approach is needed to provide novel insights and improve treatment outcomes. This underscores the need for a more comprehensive approach to scoliosis treatment.

入选标准
- •Adult individuals aged 18 to 30 years (after complete ossification and before the start of the ageing process and joint changes) as mentioned in studies.
- •Thoracolumbar scoliosis with Cobb angle between 10 to 30 degrees because a curve below 10 degrees has no effect and above 30 is indicated for surgery.
排除标准
- •History of orthopaedic surgeries.
- •History of road traffic accidents (RTA).
- •True leg length discrepancy.
- •Neuropathy.
- •Mental disorders.
- •Bone tumor.
- •Heart disease or circulatory problems.
- •Early osteoporosis.
结局指标
主要结局
assessment of degree of spinal curvature
时间窗: at baseline and after 3 months
it will be assessed using the scoliometer which is typically consists of a level or inclinometer attached to a base. The scoliometer is placed along the spine, and the angle of deviation from the vertical is measured to assess the severity of the curvature
次要结局
- assessment of the change of the trunk lateral flexion ROM(at baseline and after 3 months)
- assessment of the change of the trunk rotation ROM(at baseline and after 3 months)
- assessment of the change of fingertips to floor distance(at baseline and after 3 months)
- assessment of the change of the weight, height and body mass index(at baseline and after 3 months)
- assessment of the change of the cervical flexion and extension ROM(at baseline and after 3 months)
- assessment of the change of the degree of spinal curvature(at baseline and after 3 months)
- assessment of the change of the trunk flexion and extension ROM(at baseline and after 3 months)
- assessment of the change of the cervical lateral flexion ROM(at baseline and after 3 months)
- assessment of the change of the cervical rotation ROM(at baseline and after 3 months)
