Effect of Coordinative Locomotor Training on Spine Appearance and Quality of Life in Patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis: Single Subject Study

Abstract

This study examined the effects of coordinative locomotor training on the spine appearance and quality of life of patients with idiopathic scoliosis. METHODS: This study included two patients with idiopathic scoliosis: one with a thoracic and lumbar type scoliosis and the other with thoracic type scoliosis. The study design was a single case study (A-B-A'), with a baselineintervention/phase-post-intervention. The baseline (A) was designed and measured five times, intervention phase (B) ten times, and post-intervention (A') five times. The coordinative locomotor training program was divided into 10 minutes of warm-up exercise, 30 minutes of the main exercise, and 10 minutes of the finishing exercise, for 50 minutes each time. The primary outcome measurements were measured using †Corresponding Author : Jin-Cheol Kim

Reliability and Validity of Angle of Trunk Rotation Measurement Using Smartphone and 3D Printing Technology in Scoliosis

“…In adolescence, a period when considerable attention is paid to appearance, it can cause psychological atrophy that can affect social life. [4][5][6] Eighty percent of adolescent scoliosis is idiopathic scoliosis, the cause of which is unclear, and no particular pain appears. The prevalence of growth in adolescents under 16 years of age is 2-3%, and the risk increases as the child ages because the deformity proceeds until bone growth is complete.…”
