ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to report the effect of muscle energy technique (MET) and Schroth method on idiopathic scoliosis. A patient with idiopathic scoliosis was treated by MET and Schroth method. To investigate the outcome of the patient's improvement, we observed the X-ray of cervical, thoracic, lumbar spine. And Cobb's angle, correctability, visual analog scale (VAS) were used to measure changes during treatment. After treatment, Cobb's angle and correctability, VAS were improved significantly. MET and Schroth method are proved to be helpful to improve idiopathic scoliosis. And, further studies will be needed.
