[Purpose] To detect H-reflex asymmetry and investigate the effect of direction sensitive exercise therapy protocol among patients with thoracolumbar and/or lumbar scoliosis. [Subjects and Methods] Fifty patients (10–17 years), Cobb’s angle 10–20 degrees with thoracolumbar and lumbar scoliosis participated in the study. Soleus H-reflex was tested on both sides during prone lying position and standing position. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups. Group I received direction sensitive exercise therapy while the participants in group II received traditional exercise. Exercises were applied three times per week for twelve successive weeks. [Results] There were significant differences indicating asymmetry in the H-reflex amplitude on concave side. Cobb’s angle significantly decreased and the H-reflex amplitude on concave side as well as H concave/convex ratios in both lying and standing significantly increased in both groups. Direction sensitive exercise therapy showed a more significant increase in the measured outcomes than traditional exercises therapy protocol. [Conclusion] H-reflex test was effective in discovering the asymmetry between concave and convex sides. Based on H-reflex test, direction-sensitive exercise therapy was more effective than traditional exercises in decreasing Cobb’s angle and increasing H-reflex values as well as H/H percent in concave side in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is considered as the most common type of scoliosis. A 13-year-old female complained of bilateral leg pain, left > right, and severe headache. She was referred to an orthopaedic physical therapy clinic. Spinal X-ray revealed right thoracolumbar scoliosis with Cobb angle of about 48°. The primary curve was in the lumbar vertebrae, directed to the left, and the secondary curve was in the thoracic vertebrae, directed to the right. Two surgeons recommended corrective surgery, while one recommended physiotherapy for 6 months. The third surgical opinion was based on magnetic resonance imaging that presented normal cervical spine, mild scoliotic deformity of lower dorsal vertebrae with right-sided convexity and of lumbar vertebrae with left-sided convexity, L4–5 broad based posterior and left posterolateral disc protrusion, and L5–S1 mild central posterior disc protrusion. At the final evaluation after 18 months of a corrective exercise program, the patient reported no symptoms at rest or with exercises. The improvement was evidenced by Cobb angle change from 48° to 21°, pelvic shift, and general spinal flexibility and strength. The current case report describes a specific corrective exercise protocol adapted to a case of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis that presented with bilateral leg pain.

“…One previous study found that core stabilization was effective in the correction of vertebral rotation and reduction of pain in AIS patients. 11 However, a 2013 systematic review found insufficient high-quality evidence that corrective exercises decreased curve magnitude in patients with AIS. 12 The results of our study present no significance between completing a side plank or front plank for 6 months on Cobb angle.…”

BackgroundFishman et al. reported that side plank poses asymmetrically strengthened the convex side of the curve and decreased primary Cobb angle by 49% among compliant patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).MethodsAIS patients with curves of 10° to 45° were randomized into the front plank (control) or side plank group. The side plank was performed with their curve convex down. A weekly survey monitored compliance, defined by completing poses 4 or more times a week.ResultsA total of 64 patients were enrolled; 34% (22 of 64) of patients (mean age = 13 years) were compliant. In the control group, there were 11 compliant patients with 6 undergoing brace treatment. At enrollment, they had a mean Cobb angle of 30° (range: 14°–40°) and mean scoliometer reading of 13°. At 6 months, they had a mean Cobb angle of 30° (range: 14°–42°) and mean scoliometer of 12°. In the side plank group, there were 11 compliant patients with 5 undergoing brace treatment. At enrollment, they had a mean Cobb angle of 32° (range: 21°–44°) and mean scoliometer reading of 12°. At 6 months, they had a mean Cobb angle of 31° (range: 17°–48°) and a mean scoliometer reading of 13°. There were no significant changes in either the control or side plank group in regards to primary Cobb angle (control: P = .53, side plank: P = .67) or scoliometer (control: P = .22, side plank: P = .45).ConclusionThere were no significant changes in primary Cobb angle or scoliometer after 6 months of side plank exercises. In contrast to a prior study, there was no improvement in curve magnitude in AIS patients performing side plank exercises.
