Abstract
Background In Japan, bracing is the only treatment which is considered as an effective conservative treatment for AIS. Therefore, therapeutic exercise for scoliosis does not pervade as a clinical approach for AIS. Only a few orthopaedists and therapists adopt Side Shift and Pelvic Hitch exercise. In general, clinical evidence regarding the effectiveness of specific exercise for preventing progression of curves is not recognized. In this case, Cobb angle progressed 9 degrees post bracing.
Highlights
In Japan, bracing is the only treatment which is considered as an effective conservative treatment for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS)
The seas approach reduced Cobb angle, and the thera-band exercise improved scapula winging in a double major curve type of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) – a case report
Conclusion & discussion In this case, a Cobb angle increased from 28 degrees to 31 degrees in the thoracic vertebrae during 14 to 18 years old
Summary
