Schroth Exercise Versus Functional Electrical Stimulation in Adolescent With Spinal Deformities

Delta University for Science and Technology40 enrolled

Overview

Abnormal spinal curvature can occur as a result of neurologic, orthopedic or idiopathic factors. The role of physiotherapy is not only to prevent intrinsic changes that may occur in the spine but also be used to correct postural abnormalities. this study will investigate the impact of Schroth Exercise compared to Functional Electrical Stimulation in Adolescent With Spinal Deformities (scoliosis and or kyphosis).
