[en] Description of the experience: Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a medical condition characterized by a three-dimensional deformity of the spine, currently affecting 1-3% of the population between 10 and 16 years old. For the management of mild to moderate curves, defined as those below 40°, a conservative approach involving the use of orthopedic devices and physiotherapy is employed. At the Hospital Materno-Infantil Teresa Herrera (HMITH), where this project is being carried out, a 4-session physiotherapy treatment is offered to patients with AIS. With this Service-Learning (ApS) project, the aim is to extend the duration of the treatment by adapting to the available human and material resources. To achieve this, an educational plan targeting patients and their families will be implemented, providing them with detailed information about AIS and promoting their active and autonomous participation within the treatment. Objective: To enhance the current treatment carried out at HMITH through the implementation of therapeutic education strategies, as well as fostering patients' autonomy and active participation. Development of the experience: The project was implemented through an intervention program consisting of 5 sessions. In the first session, the educational plan was presented, and specific postural corrections were provided for each case. Following this initial session, the patients had a 4-week period of autonomous work in which they practiced and consolidated the guidelines presented to integrate them into their daily lives. Subsequently, the patients attended 4 additional face-to-face sessions, during which Specific Therapeutic Exercises for Scoliosis (ETEE) based on the Schroth method, combined with other methods and techniques, were performed. Results of the experience: After participating in the program, patients reported improvements in Vital Capacity (VC) and muscle tension perception. However, changes in the degrees of scoliotic curvature were not significant. Conclusions: This project has provided an opportunity to have a first contact with the reality of the future profession, as well as to acquire the competencies of the degree and offer a service to the community.

[gl] Descrición da experiencia: A Escoliose Idiopática Adolescente (EIA) é una condición médica caracterizada por una deformidade tridimensional da columna vertebral, que afecta actualmente ao 1-3% da poboación entre os 10 e os 16 anos. A abordaxe das curvas leves e moderadas, é dicir, daquelas inferior a 40°, empléase un enfoque conservador que inclúe o uso de dispositivos ortopédicos e a fisioterapia. No Hospital Materno-Infantil Teresa Herrera da Coruña (HMITH), lugar onde se leva a cabo este proxecto, ofrécese un tratamento de 4 sesións de fisioterapia para os pacientes con EIA. Con este proxecto de Aprendizaxe e Servicio (ApS), preténdese estender a duración do tratamento, adaptándonos aos recursos humanos e materiais dispoñibles. Para logralo, implementarase un plan educativo dirixido aos pacientes e as súas familias, brindándolles información detallada sobre a EIA e fomentando a súa participación activa e autónoma dentro do tratamento. Obxectivo: Potenciar o tratamento levado a cabo actualmente no HMITH mediante a implementación de estratexias de educación terapéutica, así como fomentando a autonomía e a participación activa dos pacientes. Desenvolvemento da experiencia: O proxecto implementouse a través dun programa de intervención que constou de 5 sesións. Na primeira sesión, presentouse o plan educativo e proporcionáronse as correccións posturais específicas para cada caso. Despois desta sesión inicial, os pacientes tiveron un período de 4 semanas de traballo autónomo no cal practicaron e consolidaron as pautas presentadas para integralas na súa vida diaria. Posteriormente, os pacientes asistiron a 4 sesións presenciais adicionais, onde se levaron a cabo Exercicios Terapéuticos Específicos para Escoliose (ETEE), baseados no método Schroth, combinados con outros métodos e técnicas. Resultados da experiencia: Tras a súa participación no programa, os pacientes refiren melloras na Capacidade Vital (CV) e na súa percepción de tensión muscular. Os cambios nos grados de curvatura escoliótica nos resultaron significativos. Conclusións: Este proxecto brindou a oportunidade de ter una primeira toma de contacto coa realidade do futuro profesional, así como de adquirir as competencias do grado e ofrecer un servicio á comunidade.
