About

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

Full 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

Enrollment: 150 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 8+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria
