Influence of Scroth's Method along with Core Strengthening & Tapping on Idiopathic Scoliosis Patient in Early 20's in Terms of Curve & Balancing Abilities: A Case Study

The Purpose of this study was to determine the influence of Scroth's method along with core strengthening & tapping for idiopathic scoliosis with a female patient in her early 20's in terms of her spinal curve & balancing abilities. There were no particular activities that the subject could not perform, but patient complained of difficulty in maintaining the standing position for a prolonged time. The Exercises Programme consists of Scroth's Method along with Tapping and core stabilization exercises, including home exercises focusing on Patient's balancing abilities, the lateral symmetry of the spinal sway, the distortion & the height of the pelvis and scapular bones. The Programme lasted for 4 weeks and included 5 sessions per week; with each session lasted for 30 min. Before & after the exercise Programme, the subject was monitored for the changes in spine alignment and measurement of winging in scapula. Also, using a balance measurement for subject's static & dynamic balancing activities was tested. Even Posture evaluation was conducted before the commencement of Exercise Programme. After executing the exercise Programme for 4 weeks, the spinal sways of the subject were corrected, and her static & dynamic balancing abilities were improved compared to the baseline values.
