|
PURPOSE : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of stage-based training, including core exercises, on scoliosis patients.
METHODS : Two patients with scoliosis participated in the study. Both patients participated for eight months and were trained for an hour three times a week. The training program consisted of stretching and strengthening, as well as core exercises, and was divided into five stages. The Cobb angles and trunk lengths of the subjects were measured after one month, two months, and four months of training. Measurements were also taken after the subjects completed training. All of the measurements were taken using Formetric 4D.
RESULTS : The Cobb’s angle of subject A, which was 41° before training, measured 30° following training. The Cobb’s angle of subject B also improved from 41° prior to training to 34° after training. Furthermore, the trunk lengths of both subjects improved. The trunk length of subject A increased from 438 ㎜ to 450 ㎜ and, and the trunk length of subject B increased from 433 ㎜ to 458 ㎜.
CONCLUSION : This study has shown that stage-based training and core training can be used as effective treatments for scoliosis patients.
