청소년기 특발성 척추 측만증에 대한 교정운동 프로그램의 효과

Abstract

This study attempted to investigate the effect of 12 weeks' spine-excercise program which are not surgical procedures on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The total of 34 adolescent subjects aged between 14 and 19 made up study population, with idiopathic scoliosis and over 10° of cobb's angle, residing in Gwang-ju H hospital scoliosis center. Subjects were tested twice times; before and after the spine-excercise program. The spine-excercise program was consisted of 3 times per week, 60 minutes in each session and lasted 12 weeks. Significance level was established at ɑ=.05.

The results of the analysis can be summarized as follows;

1. After the 12 weeks' spine-excercise program, the cobb's angle and the change of Moire Topography was significance decreased(p<.001).

2. In the change of Moire Topography, the Moire-angle and the number of contour lines have been a meaningful difference among all groups except SMC(Right)(p<.001).

On the results above, it was found that the 12 weeks' spine-excercise program including the stretching, muscle strength exercise has shown effect on cobb's angle and Moire Topography, and it has helped the scoliosis students to improve Flexibility, muscle strength around the spine and body balance. To conclude, it reproved that a steady exercise may have positive effects to scoliosis students. In the future, it is suggested that we need to apply a long term of treatment as well as have to develop scientific and practical spine-excercise program.
