Brief Summary:
A spinal malformation called scoliosis typically manifests in the first two decades of life It is defined as a lateral curvature of the spine larger than 10 which can be identified by an x-ray using the Cobb angle Clinically idiopathic scoliosis is defined as a spinal curvature in the coronal plane of more than 10 degrees It accounts for 85 of nearly all scoliosis cases It is advised that patients with curves less than 45 get nonoperative care The Schroth technique is mostly utilized in the treatment of scoliosis This technique uses a physiotherapeutic approach to stretch and strengthen any weak muscles The studys objective is to ascertain how the Scroth method affects the size of the curve the lumbar extensors endurance and the mobility of the chest in cases with idiopathic scoliosis
The present research will employ a randomized control trial design with data sourced from the Children Hospital and Institute of Child Health in Lahore as well as the Pakistan Society for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled Lahore PSRD Thirty-two patients total will be randomly assigned to two equal groups for the study The studys inclusion criteria will include any patient with idiopathic scoliosis who is between the ages of 9 and 17 and has a Cobb angle between 10 and 26 regardless of gender The study will not include any patients with neurological conditions other orthopedic conditions surgery histories involving the spine severe systemic disorders psychological conditions or neuromuscular disorders The experimental group will engage in both routine physical therapy RPT and Schroth exercise therapy SET while the control group will only receive normal physical treatment Chest mobility lumbar extensor endurance and curve magnitude Cobb angle will all be examined The Sorensen test for lumbar muscle endurance the X-ray for Cobb angle and the measuring tape for chest mobility will be the instruments utilized to collect data The data analysis tool of choice will be SPSS 2300

Detailed Description:
Group A In addition to regular physical therapy Group A will engage in Schroth exercises therapy SET These regular workouts will include breathing exercises posture training spinal flexibility exercises and stretching activities especially for the muscles on the concave side of the curve The intensity of the workout program will progressively rise in line with each participants improved functional ability Schroth exercises which are based on kinesthetic and sensorimotor concepts will include both passive and active posture autocorrection exercises that are performed frequently Postural motor control will be enhanced by doing corrective motions repeatedly Strength and endurance training of the postural muscles is another component of Schroth exercises therapy which aims to enhance the curve improve the patients self-image and lessen pain Patients were positioned asymmetrically to optimize trunk rectification The program will consist of activities designed to increase the curvature muscle strength and endurance of postural muscles These exercises will include spinal elongation de-flexion stretching de-rotation and strengthening To provide passive support and correct posture during the SET long poles foam blocks and rice sacks were employed Depending on how well the patient performs the exercises the intensity of the Schroth exercises will be gradually raised by modifying the patients position varying the number of sets and repetitions of the exercises and reducing the quantity or degree of passive support Ten sessions total 30 minutes each five days a week will be conducted
Group B Group B will engage in independent routine physical therapy RPT Stretching exercises especially for the muscles on the concave side of the curve will be part of these regular workouts The patient will be actively taught standard upper extremity range-of-motion exercises Without using any creams or lotions myofascial release MFR procedures will be applied straight to the skin To assist avoid back discomfort pressure will be administered to the restricted area for 90-120 seconds in order to release the tissue Twice day perform 10 repetitions of a 5-second hold while supine pelvic tilt twice The same protocol will be followed for the cat and camel double-leg abdominal presses and superwoman exercises There will be breathing exercises including thoracic expansion and diaphragmatic breathing
