"Rehabilitation of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with the schroth method and yoga therapy"
Session

Description
Introduction: Scoliosis is called idiopathic when no other underlying disease can be identified. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is present in 2 to 4 percent of children between 10 and 18 years of age. It is defined as lateral curvature of the spine greater than 10° accompanied by vertebral rotation. The therapeutic goal in children is to prevent progression. In children, scoliosis of 20° or more should be treated with orthosis and scoliosis of 45° or more with surgery.
Purpose: The purpose of this scientific paper is to compare and obtain scientific data for the rehabilitation of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with the Schroth method and Yoga therapy. Methodology: Data collection was done from the protocol of patients with scoliosis treated at The University Clinical Centre of Kosovo in the Physiotherapy Clinic during the period January 2022- to April 2022. Other data sources were obtained from PubMed, academia.edu, research gate, etc. using key scoliosis, adolescent scoliosis, Schroth method, yoga therapy for scoliosis. Where randomized controlled trials, reviews, clinical trials are included.
Results: The number of patients aged 10-18 years who were treated at the Physiotherapy Clinic is 11 (N=62) or 17%. The most affected gender is the female gender 64% (N=62), also in the age group 10-18 years we have 73% (N=11) cases of the female gender. As for the scientific data for the treatment of scoliosis, we have more scientific data for positive results of Schroth exercises in addition to Yoga therapy.
Conclusions: Based on the content analysis, quality of evidence and study results there is little to moderate evidence for the effect of Yoga Therapy in addition to the Schroth method. Physiotherapists should be trained in the Schroth method, as well as school screening for scoliosis, to know the frequency of occurrence in Kosovo in order to prevent later complications and deformities, which will have lower financial costs compared to treatment and rehabilitation after the age of 18.
