[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the Schroth method
(three-dimensional convergence exercise) of emphasis of active holding on pain and Cobb’s
angle in patients with scoliosis. [Subjects and Methods] It applied the Schroth method
program of emphasis of active holding individually to three subjects three time per week
for 15 weeks. All subject were measured Cobb’s angle and pain. [Results] After 15 weeks,
pain and Cobb’s angle decreased compared to values before. [Conclusion] These results
demonstrate the benefit of the Schroth exercise program of emphasis of active holding on
decreasing pain and Cobb’s angle in patients with idiopathic scoliosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
