Comparison of two training programs of Schroth and modified Schroth exercises on physical, psychological factors and quality of life in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis

The schroth method is one of the most popular methods of scoliosis exercise therapy, but it also has the potential to improve. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the two training programs schroth and schroth modified in physical, psychological factors and quality of life of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.

45 people will be divided into two experimental groups and one method control group، the subjects of each group will be determined 15 subjects (with the possibility of considering the drop of subjects). The method of selecting the subjects is first purposefully and then randomly divided into control and experimental groups.

Initially, these individuals will be identified by an orthopedic physician and referred to the Correctional Movement Department of the Tehran Red Crescent Rehabilitation Center in Vanak (Experimental and Assessor Course).

Inclusion criteria: Adolescents (10 and 18 years) with idiopathic scoliosis. the subjects will not participate in any exercise or therapeutic intervention during the research. It should be noted that all participants in this study should have received the full dose of corona vaccine. Exclusion criteria: Symptoms such as fever, cough, weakness, and generally suspected coronavirus, lateral curvature greater than 45 and less than 10 degrees, mental disorders, neuromuscular disorders, Congenital malformations, any trauma or skeletal muscle injury and history of spinal surgery.

1- Exercise therapy group, 2- Exercise therapy group, 3- Control group.

In this study, measurements of lateral spinal deviation angles, trunk rotation, trunk flexibility, erector spine muscle endurance, pain, body image, mental health, quality of life, and functional movement before and after interventions will be examined.

The subjects of the present study are purposefully identified by an orthopedic physician with idiopathic scoliosis and, upon his prescription, become candidates for receiving medical therapy services. After reviewing the entry and exit criteria and the final selection of the subjects, the names of these people are placed in the sealed letters. Finally, one member of the research team considers each of these envelopes for a group, and thus different people will be placed in two experimental groups and a control group.

In the present study, after the subjects have been referred by the relevant physician to the training clinic, they will go through a completely normal treatment process and will not be informed in any way that they are included in a research project. On the other hand, in order to evaluate the dependent variables before and after the training interventions, we have considered experts who will be unaware that the subjects under their supervision have been included in a research project. As a result, in general, our study will be associated with blinding patients and evaluators (double-blind).

All the above information will be available in the form of academic dissertations as well as research articles

6 to 12 months after the completion of the research project
