Idiopathic scoliosis below 20 degrees responded well to physiotherapy alone. For curves between 20-45 degrees, adding a Chêneau orthosis during growth yielded good results, indicating effective combined treatment for scoliosis management.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Physical Therapy
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Idiopathic scoliosis is a complex spinal deformity.
  • Treatment strategies vary based on curve severity and patient age.
  • Early intervention is crucial for managing scoliosis progression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy alone for mild idiopathic scoliosis.
  • To assess the outcomes of combined physiotherapy and Chêneau orthosis treatment for moderate idiopathic scoliosis.
  • To determine the overall efficacy of these treatment approaches in growing patients.

Main Methods:

  • Patients with idiopathic scoliosis curves under 20 degrees received physiotherapy.
  • Patients with curves between 20 and 45 degrees underwent combined treatment with physiotherapy and Chêneau type orthosis.

  • Treatment was administered during the growing age period.

    • Main Results:

    • Physiotherapy alone demonstrated positive outcomes for idiopathic scoliosis curves under 20 degrees.
    • The combined therapy of physiotherapy and Chêneau orthosis showed good overall results for curves between 20 and 45 degrees.
    • This suggests a successful approach for managing moderate scoliosis during skeletal maturation.

    Conclusions:

    • Physiotherapy is an effective standalone treatment for mild idiopathic scoliosis.
    • Combining physiotherapy with Chêneau orthosis provides good correction for moderate idiopathic scoliosis in growing individuals.
    • The study supports a tailored, combined therapeutic approach for idiopathic scoliosis based on curve severity.
