Seoul National University Hospital150 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise on scoliosis

* Design: Prospective study * Setting: hospital rehabilitation department * Intervention: Participants are educated asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise along scoliosis curve patterns, including the location of apex and the direction of convexity. After performing asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise, participants are compared the main outcome measures. * Main outcome measures: Cobb angle, Apical vertebral rotation in Adam's test, surface EMG, Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) quastionnaire

Interventions

asymmetric spinal stabilization exerciseBEHAVIORAL

The patients were educated to strengthening weakness side of spinal muscle, as asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise(ASSE) * before teach ASSE, the investigators will evaluate Cobb angle, Apical vertebral rotation in Adam's test, surface EMG, Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) quastionnaire for evaluation of scoliosis severity * after perform ASSE, the investigators will evaluate Cobb angle, Apical vertebral rotation in Adam's test, surface EMG, Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) quastionnaire for evaluation of scoliosis severity

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

cobb angle

measure lateral curve of vertebra on spine x-ray AP view

Apical vertebral rotation

angle of trunk rotation in Adam's test

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

surface electromyography

surface muscle contraction of bilateral spinal muscle on T7, T12, L3

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 6 months

Secondary Outcomes

Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) quastionnaire

five different factors (pain, self-image/appearance, function/activity, mental health, and satisfaction with management, 5 = best; 1 = worst)the minimum and maximum score range is from 5 to 25

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
