Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Various methods are involved for the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis; however, reports concerning independent function-mediated training are rare.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of movement intervention on the recovery of Cobb angle of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
METHODS: One 15-year-old patient with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis was asked to take X-ray film before movement intervention to measure the Cobb angle and define the location. The related muscles were determined according to the bending position, and the functional motion was designed for the targeted exercises and movement pattern exercises. The movement intervention included: exercise for left leg to across the sidebar; exercise for left leg to side touch the rubber band (the rubber band that higher than the head was pulled down with the left hand, and then hooked the rubber band timely with ankle, and the left lumbar muscle should contracted); raking pole exercise (left): wiping exercises, circled exercises, small kicking practice and squatting exercises; left side stretching exercise (stretched the right side muscles); side pulled down the rubber band with arm (bilateral latissimus dorsi); prone sandbags pulling; left arm overhanging exercises; mat tumbling: forward roll, backward roll, and shoulder and elbow handstand; abdominal exercises (forward rotation and side rotation); four sets of rhythmic gymnastics portfolio. All the exercise were completed under the control of music, a total of 50 times intervention, 1-1.5 hours per time, and the course of the exercise was two and a half months. The X-ray films were re-taken to observe the changes of Cobb angle, and the improvement of the neuromuscular function on the affected side before and after intervention was observed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After the rehabilitative training for 50 times in two and a half months (1-1.5 hours per time), the Cobb angle of the patients was recovered from 28° to 34°. The specialists recommend that the brace should not be used. The results indicate that movement intervention has significant effects on the recovery of Cobb angle of the patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
