Effect of chiropractic and lumbar exercise program on lumbar muscle strength and Cobb's angle in patients with scoliosis for u-Healthcare
This study aimed to find the effects of 12-week chiropractic and lumbar exercise program on the lumbar muscle strength and Cobb's angle in 16 adolescent students with scoliosis. The patients with scoliosis did not have neurological symptoms and surgery experience. Each group of eight subjects received chiropractic and lumbar exercises three times a week. Subjects' lumbar muscle strength measurement showed a statistically significant temporal difference in the chiropractic group (CG) and chiropractic with exercise group (EG) and had interaction effects. However, no significant difference was found between the two groups. Changes in the Cobb's angle in each group had a significant difference both temporally and between group in both CG and EG, and interaction effects were also significant. As suggested in this study, mutual application of exercise therapy program and chiropractic treatments was found to have a positive effect on lumbar muscle strength and Cobb's angle in patients with scoliosis.
