ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of spinal spiral stabilization exercise combined with Tecar Therapy on the spinal and pelvic structures and pain in college students with mild scoliosis. METHODS: The subjects of this study were 16 college students with scoliosis. The students were divided randomly into two groups of eight each. The control group received exercise therapy using spiral stabilization exercise, and the experimental group received spinal spiral stabilization exercise combined with Tecar Therapy three times a week for 50 minutes a day for eight weeks. The effects of the inte- rvention were examined by measuring the spinal and pelvic structures and pain twice before and after the intervention. RESULTS: No significant difference in Cobbs angle was observed within the control group (p > .05), but a significant difference was noted within the experimental group (p < .05). A significant difference in Cobbs angle was observed between the groups (p < .05). The height in the left and right pelvis was similar within the control group (p > .05), but a significant difference was noted within the experimental group (p < .05). The left and right pelvic level was similar in the two groups (p > .05). A significant difference in pain was observed within the control and experimental groups (p < .05) and between the two groups (p < .05). CONCLUSION: These results revealed statistically significant differences in the spinal and pelvic structures and pain between the experimental and control groups and suggested a positive effect of the intervention.
