Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is a three-dimensional deformity that requires treatment in all three planes. The biofeedback technique has recently been used in the treatment of scoliosis. The goal of this study was to see how beneficial a new biofeedback posture training called SKOL-AS® was for children with scoliosis.
The study's target population included 28 patients (25 girls and 3 boys) diagnosed and treated with low-grade progressive scoliosis between the ages of 5 and 16.
Anthropometric measurements, posterior–anterior X-ray imaging, SpinalMeter® postural assessment, and the angle of trunk rotation (ATR) assessment were used to make the postural diagnosis. The SKOL-AS® treatment consisted of 24 sessions held twice a week in both laying and sitting postures for three months.
According to the findings, posture training resulted in a decrease in the ATR value (pre- vs. post-exercise in younger: 5.5o vs. 3.0o and older patients: 5.2o vs. 3.0o). The individuals' increased height appeared to confirm the SKOL-AS® treatment's beneficial elongation effect. A statistically significant decrease in shoulder asymmetry in the sitting posture has been seen in younger children in the posterior view. The alterations in head position (based on mouth and eye symmetry) have been seen in the anterior view. In younger children on the left side of the body, there was a statistically significant increase in acromion–heel, acromion–iliac crest, and posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS)–heel length values. On the left side of the body, older patients showed greater acromion–iliac crest and PSIS–heel values after treatment. Only PSIS–heel length was longer on the right side. Only a minor increase in the acromion–iliac crest length value has been seen in the sitting position.
The SKOL-AS® biofeedback method was found to be effective in teaching patients appropriate postural habits and spine auto-correction in all three planes.Author(S) Details
