The lack of evidence of conservative treatment has led to an interest in exploring myofascial release (MFR) as an effective means of controlling spinal curvature progression in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
The purpose of this case study is to measure the effects of MFR as a manual therapy technique in the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis.
One 18-year-old female subject underwent 6 weeks of MFR treatment consisting of two sessions each week for 60min. Pain, pulmonary function, and quality of life were measured. Six goniometric measurements were taken encompassing trunk flexion, extension, and rotation.
The subject improved with pain levels, trunk rotation, posture, quality of life, and pulmonary function.
The results suggest further investigation is needed using MFR, as an effective manual therapy treatment for idiopathic scoliosis.
保守治疗缺乏证据,这引发了人们对探索肌筋膜放松(MFR)作为控制青少年特发性脊柱侧弯脊柱弯曲进展的有效手段的兴趣。
本案例研究的目的是测量MFR作为一种手法治疗技术在治疗特发性脊柱侧弯中的效果。
一名18岁女性受试者接受了为期6周的MFR治疗,每周两次,每次60分钟。测量了疼痛、肺功能和生活质量。进行了六项角度测量,包括躯干前屈、后伸和旋转。
受试者在疼痛程度、躯干旋转、姿势、生活质量和肺功能方面均有改善。
结果表明,需要进一步研究将MFR作为治疗特发性脊柱侧弯的有效手法治疗方法。
