Clinical Trial Summary

This is a pilot study to lead to a larger prospective, randomized, controlled study of older adult (ages 50 and older) spinal patients with thoracolumbar/lumbar scoliosis evaluating improvement with physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercise (PSSE) compared to traditional low back physical therapy (PT).


Clinical Trial Description

Adult scoliosis with chronic back pain is a very complex condition. Chronic back pain remains one of our country's most costly conditions to manage and treat. Many of these patients have difficulty with activities of daily living (ADL), household and community ambulation, and maintaining their professional career. The intervention options for this population remain limited, with surgery being the only one that has shown improvements in health related quality of life and an overall decrease in the complaints of pain. However, the costs of surgery and additional complications are limitations to this treatment option.There has been increased attention and interest in the medical community looking at the effects of Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis Specific Exercises (PSSE) on curve progression, improvements in health related quality of life, and pain. The investigators hypothesize that PSSE can directly affect radiological parameters, such as the sagittal vertical axis (SVA), as well as showing improvements in health related quality of life using subjective patient specific outcome measures. ;
