“…Nustatėme, kad juosmeninės ir krūtininės stuburo dalių paslankumas po taikytų intervencijų pagerėjo abiejose grupėse. Tyrėjų nustatyta (Strukčinskaitė et al, 2017), kad 10 kineziterapijos procedūrų po 30 min. penkis kartus per savaitę lavina stuburą stabilizuojančių raumenų jėgą ir didina stuburo paslankumą.…”

Background. Scoliosis affects spinal mobility and the respiratory system. The Schroth method is an effective tool for the treatment of scoliosis. However, there is insufficient evidence for the efficiency of kinesio taping with the Schroth method to help manage the condition of spinal mobility and respiratory system changes for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. The aim. To evaluate the efficacy of the Schroth method and the Schroth method in combination with kinesio taping for spinal mobility and functional changes in the respiratory system in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. The methods. The study included 8 adolescent volunteers diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis. The adolescents were divided into two groups. The Schroth method was used for the first group and the Schroth method with kinesiology taping for the second group. The study lasted 2 months, and both groups underwent 2 interventions per week. Both before and after the interventions, participants were assessed for trunk functional stability (Mathias test), lumbar and thoracic spine mobility (Schober and Otto tests), vital lung capacity (VC), and forced expiratory capacity in 1 s (FEV1). The results. In the analysed results of the interventions, it was found that the Mathias test, the Schober and Otto test, the VC and the FEV1 were improved in both groups. Comparing the results between the groups, it was established that the spinal mobility was better (p < 0,05) in the second group. However, lumbar and thoracic spinal mobility, VC, FEV1 were better (p<0,05) in the first group. The conclusion. The Schroth method with and without kinesiological taping increased trunk stability, spinal cord mobility, and VC and FEV1. The Schroth method with kinesio taping is more effective for trunk functional stability, however only the Schroth method is more effective with mobility of the lumbar and thoracic spine part as well as for VC and FEV1. Keywords: spinal cord mobility, trunk functional mobility, vital capacity.

BACKGROUND: Adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis present postural instability when compared with healthy subjects. Although Schroth exercises therapy (SET) is broadly utilized, its effect on postural stability is still not clear. OBJECTIVES: To compare the two treatment periods of the SET for improving the postural stability indices and Cobb angle, and to examine the correlation between the Cobb angle and stability indices in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). METHODS: Twenty girls aged 10–16 years with AIS (study group) and 20 age-matched girls without AIS (control group) were examined. The Biodex Balance System was used to evaluate the overall stability index (OSI), anteroposterior index (APSI), and mediolateral stability index (MLSI) in the study group before SET and one and three months after the therapy. A plain X-ray was used to measure the Cobb angle before and three months after SET. Stability indices and Cobb angle were measured only once for the control group. RESULTS: One-way repeated-measures ANOVA revealed that the three-month duration of SET was the most effective for improving OSI, APSI, and MLSI (p< 0.001). The significant proximities of OSI, APSI, and MLSI to the normal values post three months of SET were 29.65%, 24.07, and 20% respectively. The MLSI was robust and correlated with the Cobb angle (r= 0.85) three months post intervention. CONCLUSION: Stability indices and Cobb angles were highly improved after three months of SET compared to one month among AIS patients. The MLSI is the most substantial index correlated with the Cobb angle.
