Asymmetry Improvement on Core Training for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

摘要

The etiology of idiopathic scoliosis is not known,it mainly occurs in adolescents aged 11–18 yrwith a Cobb angle of 10 degrees or greater (1),characterized by vertebral rotation and lateralcurvature as a three-dimensional spinal deformity(2, 3). This is a complex spinal deformity that cancause posture imbalance, muscle weakness in thespine area, and chronic pain (4). The asymmetryin the pelvis, which serves the function of maintainingbody alignment with the spine, will have anegative effect on idiopathic scoliosis (5). Therefore,active and comprehensive research is requiredthrough implementing exercise interventionprograms to prevent scoliosis caused bythree-dimensional deformity and to improve spinaland pelvic asymmetry. In this regard, weaimed to contribute to public health by helpingadolescents with spinal healthcare and preventionof idiopathic scoliosis by implementing coretraining among adolescents with idiopathic scoliosisand investigating their impact on the improvementof three-dimensional spinal and pelvicdeformities.
