The Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Postural Stability, Posture Perception and Trunk Rotation in Children With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Adolescent Scoliosis Clinical Trial

Official title: The Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Postural Stability, Posture Perception and Trunk Rotation in Children With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Trunk rotation and distortion of the rib cage, which are common in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, result in abnormal configuration of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. This reduces the capacity of the respiratory muscles to produce force, and results in respiratory muscle weakness. The diaphragm, which is the major respiratory muscle, is also a component of the core muscles responsible for postural stability. Therefore, diaphragm muscle weakness results in deterioration of postural stability. Our aim in this study is to investigate the effect of inspiratory muscle training added to the routine scoliosis exercise program on postural stability and posture perception.
