“…One of the most common complications of scoliosis is the development of respiratory problems. Studies have shown that physiotherapy techniques, such as controlled breathing exercises and respiratory muscle training, can upgrade respiratory function [91][92][93]. Furthermore, wearable respiratory sensors and biofeedback techniques can effectively monitor and manage respiratory function in patients with scoliosis [94][95][96].…”

Scoliosis is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. It can lead to various health issues, affecting mobility, respiratory function, and overall quality of life. There are several types of scoliosis, including idiopathic, congenital, neuromuscular, degenerative, and functional. The severity of scoliosis is measured by the degree of spinal curvature, typically expressed in degrees through a system known as the Cobb angle. Early detection and intervention are fundamental in managing scoliosis, as more severe forms may necessitate bracing or surgical intervention. Healthcare professionals must understand the different types of scoliosis and their unique characteristics to tailor appropriate treatment plans.Scoliosis can significantly impact various physiological systems, including the circulatory, digestive, endocrine, integumentary, lymphatic, muscular, nervous, and respiratory systems. In the circulatory system, scoliosis can cause hemodynamic changes, impaired venous return, cardiac strain, and pulmonary complications. In the digestive system, scoliosis can lead to gastric displacement, impaired intra-abdominal pressure, gastroesophageal reflux, and nutritional implications. The endocrine system can be affected by scoliosis, leading to neuroendocrine dysregulation, growth hormone abnormalities, cortisol dysregulation, and impact on thyroid function. Scoliosis can also affect the integumentary system, leading to pressure ulcers, altered skin sensation, and hygiene challenges. In the lymphatic system, scoliosis can cause lymphatic obstruction, impaired immune response, altered inflammatory responses, fibrosis, and secondary lymphedema. Scoliosis can affect the muscular system, leading to muscle imbalance, myofascial pain, respiratory muscle weakness, and mobility issues. The nervous system can also be impacted by scoliosis, leading to neural compression, central nervous system impact, neurological dysfunction, and coordination challenges. In the respiratory system, scoliosis can cause thoracic deformities, reduced lung compliance, ventilation-perfusion mismatch, respiratory muscle weakness, increased work of breathing (WOB), and an increased risk of respiratory infections.Recognizing and addressing the interplay between scoliosis and these physiological systems is integral for healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care to individuals with scoliosis.Current research on scoliosis has made progress in diagnostic tools and techniques, including the use of imaging methods like MRI and X-ray, wearable sensors, and 3D reconstruction techniques for better evaluation of spinal motion and function, along with treatment strategies like Schroth exercises and braces, and management measures for respiratory and circulatory problems. However, there are limitations to current studies, such as the heterogeneity of scoliosis, compartmentalized approaches, limited longitudinal studies, reliance on retrospective data, and the need for standardized measures and diagnostic criteria. Future research prospects include advancements in genetic research, biomechanics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, longitudinal studies, non-invasive treatments, and multidisciplinary collaborations among researchers, clinicians, and technologists.

“…In recent years, a growing number of studies have proved that breathing exercises can significantly improve the quality of life (Yiting, Zile, Wang, Xuanlin, & Yang, 2022). Research suggests that breathing exercises can be safely used and may have positive effects on the posture, flexibility, and strength of healthy adults (Csepregi et al, 2022).…”

Respiration is an indispensable aspect of life that significantly influences both the physical and mental well-being of individuals, depending on such factors as depth and rhythm. Exploring the distinctions between chest and abdominal breathing is crucial for understanding their profound impacts, and embracing appropriate breathing exercises has proven to be advantageous for short-term relief and long-term holistic health. While acknowledged for diverse therapeutic applications, such as mitigating vocal cord fatigue, a comprehensive exploration of breathing exercises remains essential. Sport scientists and coaches are encouraged to acquire a set of breathing exercises for future implementation in the training routines. This study strives to conduct an interdisciplinary literature review to shed light on the aims, meaning, and classification of breathing exercises. Employing a literature review methodology, were analysed peer-reviewed articles from PubMed and ScienceDirect published during the years from 2000 to 2023, focusing on such keywords as breathing exercises, deep breathing, nasal breathing, abdominal breathing, thoracic breathing, pursed-lip breathing, breathing control, and respiratory muscle training. The research findings illustrate the multifaceted definitions, components, aims, and classifications of breathing exercises. This study establishes a foundation for identifying distinct subtypes, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of the significance and purpose of breathing exercises in enhancing overall well-being.

“…Pilates is a unique training system that was created in the early 20th century by a German named Joseph Pilates [14]. Pilates mainly trains deep core muscles, including transversus abdominis, diaphragm, abdominal oblique muscles, multifidus, and pelvic floor muscles, to enhance core muscles strength and endurance, maintain and improve somatic motor nerve control, increase spinal control, and improve somatic stability [15][16][17].…”

Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a common health problem. Pilates is a unique exercise therapy. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy of Pilates on pain, functional disorders, and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, CBM, EBSCO, and Embase were searched. Randomized controlled trials of Pilates in the treatment of CLBP were collected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 and Stata 12.2. Results: 19 randomized controlled trials with a total of 1108 patients were included. Compared with the controls, the results showed the following values: Pain Scale [standard mean difference; SMD = −1.31, 95%CI (−1.80, −0.83), p < 0.00001], Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) [mean difference; MD = −4.35, 95%CI (−5.77, −2.94), p < 0.00001], Roland–Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) [MD = −2.26, 95%CI (-4.45, −0.08), p = 0.04], 36-item Short-Form (SF-36) (Physical Function (PF) [MD = 5.09, 95%CI (0.20, 9.99), p = 0.04], Role Physical (RP) [MD = 5.02, 95%CI (−1.03, 11.06), p = 0.10], Bodily Pain (BP) [MD = 8.79, 95%CI (−1.57, 19.16), p = 0.10], General Health (GH) [MD = 8.45, 95%CI (−5.61, 22.51), p = 0.24], Vitality (VT) [MD = 8.20, 95%CI(−2.30, 18.71), p = 0.13], Social Functioning (SF) [MD = −1.11, 95%CI (−7.70, 5.48), p = 0.74], Role Emotional (RE) [MD = 0.86, 95%CI (−5.53, 7.25), p = 0.79], Mental Health (MH) [MD = 11.04, 95%CI (−12.51, 34.59), p = 0.36]), Quebec Back in Disability Scale (QBPDS) [MD = −5.51, 95%CI (−23.84, 12.81), p = 0.56], and the sit-and-reach test [MD = 1.81, 95%CI (−0.25, 3.88), p = 0.09]. Conclusions: This meta-analysis reveals that Pilates may have positive efficacy for pain relief and the improvement of functional disorders in CLBP patients, but the improvement in quality of life seems to be less obvious.
