Effect of Schroth Rehabilitation Exercise Program on Scoliometer Readings Lumbar Lordosis and Calcaneal Valgus Angle in Patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis

摘要

Idiopathic scoliosis progresses during puberty and rapidly worsens as it is coupled with bone growth. A regressive spinal deformity continues to develop, even after bone growth stops. At the end of the process, the resultant spinal deformity causes severe functional disorders ( ). Schroth rehabilitation exercise (SRE) is a three-dimensional exercise method that corrects scoliosis through improvement in body shape and respiratory capacity by applying rotational breathing ( ). Similar to a compressed ball that regains its original shape by injection of air, SRE respiration technique applies three-dimensional exercise with optimum feedback to correct scoliosis curvature and deviation ( ).
