Clinical Trial Summary

There has been much effort in recent years to better understand the causes of idiopathic scoliosis (IS). Some studies suggested muscle imbalance as a cause of scoliosis based on asymmetric muscular activation. Surface electromyography can evaluate asymmetrical muscular weakness. Therefore, the peak amplitude values can be used to compare the side to side differences in paraspinal muscles. From these findings the investigators improve the exercise method of IS according to muscle weakness and curve pattern.

Description:

Design: Prospective study Setting: hospital rehabilitation department the investigators will check the muscular activation at bilateral paraspinal muscles with surface electromyography and curve type with simple radiography.

Intervention: After that the investigators educate asymmetrical stabilization exercise according to muscle weakness and curve pattern.

Main outcome measures: Cobb angle

Intervention

Behavioral:
• asymmetrical stabilization exercise
Exercise is combined to form an appropriate combination of motion (Side-lying, Bird-dog, Prone arm lift, Prone leg lift) according to the curve pattern and muscle weakness of each patient's.
