Official Title

Impact of Vertebral Derotation on Ventilatory Functions and Chest Circumference in Adolescent Scoliosis

Brief Summary

This study was conducted to determine the physiological and mechanical effects of physical training post surgical correction of adolescent scoliosis using vertebral derotation.

Detailed Description

Sixty patients from both sexes with idiopathic scoliosis underwent posterior correction (fusion). They were presented with idiopathic scoliosis for 6-12 month. Their mean Cobb's angle was measured in degrees and their mean angle of rotation was measured also in degrees. Before participation all the patients were examined clinically by a chest physician to exclude any cardio pulmonary or vascular disorders which may alter the pulmonary functions. All of them did not receive any physical therapy program prior to the operation.

Patients were arranged randomly into two groups (1 and 2), each containing 30 patients. Group 1 (DRG) received posterior correction, vertebral derotation technique during posterior correction and pulmonary rehabilitation program while group 2 (NDRG) received posterior correction and the same rehabilitation program given to group 1.

• Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
• Scoliosis Idiopathic
