Rehabilitative Intervention
Each program will require the daily performance of different postures and therapeutic activities at the girls' educational facilities and homes, based on the availability of families, for 10 months. Specific strategies that will be implemented will include maintaining asymmetrical postures that oppose the scoliosis curve during activities and exercises in sitting, standing, and walking positions (according to each participant's functional abilities). These strategies refer to a hypercorrective postural positioning of scoliosis. In addition, activities involving weight bearing on the lower limbs, such as walking and standing for at least two hours a day, will be encouraged, and passive stretching and spinal mobilization exercises will be conducted.
