Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effect of muscle energy technique(MET) on idiopathic scoliosis with double curved thoracolumbar spine.
Methods : Two patients with idiopathic scoliosis with double curved thoracolumbar spine were treated by MET. To investigate the outcome of the patients’improvement, we observed the standing X-ray of cervical, thoracic, lumbar spine. And Cobb’s angle, correctability and visual analog scale(VAS) were used to measure changes during treatment.
Results : After treatment, Cobb’s angle, correctability and VAS were improved significantly.
Conclusions : MET showed significant improvement to idiopathic scoliosis with double curved thoracolumbar spine. There is limitation on this study due to insufficient number of cases. Further research should be followed.
