Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this study is to report the effect of muscle energy technique (MET) and Schroth method on idiopathic scoliosis. A patient with idiopathic scoliosis was treated by MET and Schroth method. To investigate the outcome of the patient``s improvement, we observed the X-ray of cervical, thoracic, lumbar spine. And Cobb``s angle, correctability, visual analog scale (VAS) were used to measure changes during treatment. After treatment, Cobb``s angle and correctability, VAS were improved significantly. MET and Schroth method are proved to be helpful to improve idiopathic scoliosis. And, further studies will be needed.
