| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Simultaneous use of two physiotherapeutic methods in the treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis | 3 weeks | Forty-two girls with thoracic AIS; mean age - 14.5y. Cobb - (range 12-40) The group was divided into two randomized subgroups. DoboMed was applied in group D only. DoboMed and manual therapy (Kaltenborn) were applied in group DK. The spirometry, the strength of respiratory muscles (maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures- MIP, MEP), kyphosis (plurimeter-V) and the angle of trunk rotation (ATR) in thoracic part (Bunnell scoliometer) were estimated twice - before and after therapy. |
