The Effects of Corrective Exerctive on Scoliosis

Scoiosis, abnormal side curvature of the spine, is one of the most important deformities being studied by the investigators. However, the improvement of scoliosis through kinesiotherapy and corrective therapy programs is still a controversial issue. The purpose of the present study is to find the incidence of scoliosis in the study population and investigate the degree of scoliosis change in a group of male students receiving corrective exercises. At first, New-York test randomly screend 445 male junior students. Seventy-nine subjects had scoliosis. Then, by supervision of an orthopedist and using radiographic technique, twenty subjects with the mean age of 13.75±1 years and mean scoliosis severity of 7.12±1.31 degrees were selected as the experimental group. Sixteen subjects with the mean age of 14.2 ±1.25 years and mean scoliosis severity of 7.37±2 degrees were also selected as control group. The subjects participated in an 8 week program of corrective exercises, 3 sessions per week. Anti-scoliosis exercise protocol included flexibility and strength training. At the end of the program, past-test was performed and the results were analyzed by T-student and Chi-square (P
