Abstract

Introduction. The idiopathic background of scoliosis makes it difficult to treat the disorder in a cause and effect way. This gives a starting point for creation of many physiotherapy treatment methods, among them the FED method. It is a new, but a very promising way of the conservative treatment for scoliosis.
Research Goal. The assessment of impact of the FED treatment for reducing the angle of the primary curve (KTR P) and the secondary curve (KTR W) rotation, and the overall rotation of the spine (SDR).
Materials and Methods. In the research participated girls 11 to 15 years old (M = 13.5 ±1.4), with the diagnosed double curve scoliosis of the second degree. In all the patients, there were carried out measurements of the angle of trunk rotation in the primary curve, secondary curve, cervical segment and the scoliosis coefficient was measured with a Zebris apparatus. There was also analyzed the sum of two rotations (SDR) parameter. The above examinations were performed before and after the three week treatment with the FED method.
Results. After the application of the FED treatment method, we have observed statistically significant decrease in the average value of the trunk rotation angle at the levels of primary curve, secondary curve and cervical segment. Similar observations were made in the case of the scoliosis coefficient in Zebris examination. All the examined parameters have shown a significant decrease in the average output values (p < 0.001).
Conclusions. Treatment of double curve scoliosis with the application of the FED method, for the period of 3 weeks, leads to reduction of the rotation angle of the trunk. This reduction applies to both, the primary and secondary curve, the overall rotation angle and the cervical segment. The FED therapy improves the total rotation of the whole spine.In the course of treatment, there occurs decrease in the angle of vertebrae rotation in the cervicothoracic segment.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the respiratory efficience therapy of patients with 2nd grade idiopathic scoliosis. The study was conducted at the Centre for Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation for Children and Youth in Konstancin-Jeziorno, Mazowieckie’s Rehabilitation Center “STOCER”. The study comprised 60 patients with diagnosed 2nd grade idiopathic scoliosis at the age of 8-17 years. The observation period lasted four weeks. The subjects were divided into two groups, study and control of 30 persons. In both groups implemented kinesiotherapy program, and the study group was additionally applied the efficiency of respiratory therapy. The tests were performed using a spirometer Micro Plus, by means of it was setted three parameters: FVC, FEV1, PEF. Results: In the test group, there was an increase in all parameters, compared to the baseline measurement. In the study group and the control there was a statistical increase in all studied parameters, only PEF’s improvement was not statistically significant. In the study group there was more increase in the level of the analyzed variables than in the case of persons belonging to the control group. Conclusions: Respiratory therapy improves lung function parameters in patients with 2nd grade idiopathic scoliosis becoming an important element in a comprehensive physiotherapy program. The use of respiratory kinesiotherapy in children with 2nd grade idiopathic scoliosis contributes to the improvement of all indicators, including significantly FEV1 and FVC.
