Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Schroth’s three-dimensional exercises in combination with respiratory muscle exercise (SERME) on Cobb’s angle and functional movement screen (FMS).
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Methods: Fifteen subjects with scoliosis were randomly assigned to two groups. Eight subjects were assigned to the experimental group and seven subjects were assigned to the control group. The experimental group underwent SERME using SpiroTiger (Idiag, Switzerland), while the control group performed only the Schroth’s three-dimensional exercises (SE). Both groups performed exercises for one hour per day, three times a week for eight weeks. Cobb’s angle, pulmonary function (forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume at one second, and peak expiratory flow) and FMS were measured before and after the experiment.
Results: After intervention, the SERME group showed a significant difference in Cobb’s angle, FMS scores, and pulmonary function as compared to before intervention (p<0.05). In the SE group, there was a statistically significant difference in Cobb’s angle, pulmonary function, and FMS scores compared to before intervention (p<0.05). The SERME group showed a significant difference in Cobb’s angle and peak expiratory flow in pulmonary function compared to the SE group (p<0.05).
Conclusions: The results suggest that SERME could be a more effective intervention for improvement of the Cobb’s angle and pulmonary function for scoliosis patients.
