Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise on scoliosis

Detailed description

* Design: Prospective study * Setting: hospital rehabilitation department * Intervention: Participants are educated asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise along scoliosis curve patterns, including the location of apex and the direction of convexity. After performing asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise, participants are compared the main outcome measures. * Main outcome measures: Cobb angle, Apical vertebral rotation in Adam's test, surface EMG, Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) quastionnaire

Interventions

BEHAVIORALasymmetric spinal stabilization exercise

The patients were educated to strengthening weakness side of spinal muscle, as asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise(ASSE) * before teach ASSE, the investigators will evaluate Cobb angle, Apical vertebral rotation in Adam's test, surface EMG, Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) quastionnaire for evaluation of scoliosis severity * after perform ASSE, the investigators will evaluate Cobb angle, Apical vertebral rotation in Adam's test, surface EMG, Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) quastionnaire for evaluation of scoliosis severity

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
cobb angle	through study completion, an average of 6 months	measure lateral curve of vertebra on spine x-ray AP view
Apical vertebral rotation	through study completion, an average of 1 year	angle of trunk rotation in Adam's test
surface electromyography	through study completion, an average of 6 months	surface muscle contraction of bilateral spinal muscle on T7, T12, L3

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) quastionnaire	through study completion, an average of 1 year	five different factors (pain, self-image/appearance, function/activity, mental health, and satisfaction with management, 5 = best; 1 = worst)the minimum and maximum score range is from 5 to 25
