Official title
Efficacy of Mat-Pilates Exercises on Balance and Functional Capacity in Adolescents With Scoliosis. A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Overview
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of mat-Pilates exercises on balance and functional capacity in adolescents with scoliosis.
Detailed description
Adolescent scoliosis is one of the common spinal deformities observed during adolescence period aged between 10-16 years. It can introduce wide-ranging dysfunction in different bodily systems and organs. Numerous researchers present that standing balance assessments show greater postural instability in adolescent with scoliosis compared with age-matched controls. Pilates exercises emphasizes the development of a neutral spine as it consists of stretching, strengthening, and coordination activities. Consequently, it could improve the stability of the spine, muscle strength, and flexibility of the pelvis, and hip joints that in turn, could improve balance, lower limbs strength, and functional capacity. Several studies support the use of mat-Pilates exercises among different areas in adults while, there is no research conducted on balance and functional capacity in children and adolescents with scoliosis. Hence, there is need to study the efficacy of mat-Pilates exercises on balance and functional capacity in adolescents with scoliosis.
Interventions
- Other Conventional Physical Therapy
It includes stretching exercises of the concave side muscles, strengthening exercises of the convex side muscles, postural control exercises from sitting and standing, and breathing exercises. - Other Mat-Pilates Exercises
It includes a selected pilates exercises in the form of bridge, hundred, alternate toe taps, single leg circles, side to side, side kick lying, quadruped, spine twist, side leg raise, and tandem walking
