Effect Of Scientific Exercise Approach For Scoliosis Versus Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School On Correction Of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

"The SEAS approach provides a thorough evaluation of the patient before the treatment starts. In addition to the usual measurements for the specific assessment of the scoliosis (Cobb degrees, Bunnel, trunk decompensation, sagittal postural structure and aesthetic parameters), the patient performs a series of tests. The objectives are: assessment of physical conditions (strength and elasticity of certain muscle areas that are more likely 6 influence the structure of the pelvis and the spine), assessment of neuromotor ability related to the alignment of the spine and the pelvis (balance, management of body movements with closed eyes, optical/manual skills) (Romano et al, 2015).~The main aim of SEAS is to reverse the Stokes vicious cycle, so, the abnormal loading created by the scoliosis with an asymmetric growth leading to worsening of curves that will lead to further asymmetric growth due to increased asymmetrical loading (ettany et al 2014).~The goal of SEAS exercises is to develop an a"

"Barcelona scoliosis physical therapy school (BSPTS): Based on the theory that scoliosis posture promotes curve progression, according to the vicious cycle model, Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School (BSPTS) is a physiotherapeutic method that can be defined as a therapy plan of cognitive, sensory-motor, and kinesthetic training to teach the patient to improve their scoliosis 3D posture and shape. The BSTPS method aims to: 1) improve aesthetics and correct scoliotic posture; 2) stabilize the spine and stop the progression of the curve; 3) inform patients and their families about the condition and available treatments; 4) enhance breathing; 5) increase activity, including daily living activities and functional mobility; 6) enhance general self-image and self-esteem; and 7) reduce pain. The initial ideas serve as the foundation for BSPTS correctional Principles (Berdishevsky et al 2016)."
