Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the immediate effect of relaxed and corrected posture applied while sitting and standing on the angle of trunk rotation (ATR) in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. Materials and Methods: The study included 38 patients with AIS. Corrected sitting and standing postures were taught according to the Schroth Best Practice® method, and patients were asked to sit/stand for 5 min. ATR was measured using a scoliometer before and after four postural positions: relaxed sitting and standingand corrected sitting and standing. Results: The mean age of the participants was 14 years, the Cobb angle was 28.63°, and the ATR was 8.14°. Baseline ATR values increased after relaxed sitting and standing postures and decreased after corrected sitting and standing (p<0.001). Improvements in corrected sitting were superior to corrected standing (p<0.001). ATR values increased more in relaxed sitting than in relaxed standing (p=0.008). Conclusion: The results showed that corrected posture might have a corrective effect on scoliosis curvature during activities of daily living (ADL). Integrating ADL adaptations into a rehabilitation program may help decrease asymmetric loading on the spine in growing adolescents with AIS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
