Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

traction with mobilization

it consists of 35 patients and patients will receive traction with mobilization 3 sessions per week for 3 months with a total of 36 sessions. there will be a follow-up for 2 months with home program exercises and postural instructions only followed by the same pre and post-treatment assessment measures

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

traction and mobilization

Intervention Type OTHER

The patient undergoes a 15-minute infrared therapy session, followed by flexibility and stretching exercises targeting the trunk and four extremities muscles. Land manipulation techniques are used for cervical, dorsal, and lumbar spine to assess and treat spinal dysfunctions. Deep breathing exercises with rib mobilization are also performed to promote respiratory function and thoracic flexibility. The session aims to improve overall health.

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will receive exercise programs from seven major schools under SOSORT, focusing on realigning the spine, rib cage, shoulders, and pelvis to normal anatomical postures.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. 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.
2. 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.

Exclusion Criteria

1. History of orthopaedic surgeries.
2. History of road traffic accidents (RTA).
3. Myopathy.
4. True leg length discrepancy.
5. Neuropathy.
6. Mental disorders.
7. Bone tumor.
8. Heart disease or circulatory problems.
9. Early osteoporosis.
