ADOLESCENT IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS: MANAGEMENT AND EXERCISES

Course Overview

In this lecture, we will explore effective strategies for managing idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents. A key focus will be on physiologic scoliosis-specific exercises designed to address the unique needs of each patient. Learners will gain insights into evidence-based practices and learn how to develop personalized exercise programs tailored to individual needs, ultimately promoting better outcomes for adolescents with scoliosis.

Chapters & Learning Objectives

CHAPTER 1: PSSE: PHYSIOLOGIC SCOLIOSIS SPECIFIC EXERCISES (SIDE-BENDING, ROTATION, CORE STRENGTHENING AND STRETCHING)

: 00:07 Hour

In this chapter, we will delve into targeted exercise strategies aimed at managing scoliosis effectively. Focusing on side-bending, rotation, core strengthening, and stretching, we will explore how each of these components plays a critical role in improving spinal alignment and overall function.

CHAPTER-2: PSSE- MANUAL THERAPY, USE OF HEEL LIFTS AND SELF CORRECTION METHODS (SCHROTH METHOD)

: 00:08 Hour

We will discuss the role of manual therapy in alleviating discomfort and improving mobility, alongside the application of heel lifts to address leg length discrepancies and their impact on spinal alignment. Additionally, we will introduce self-correction techniques rooted in the Schroth Method, focusing on posture awareness and active participation in correction.

CHAPTER-3: ENTRY LEVEL CONCEPTS FOR ADOLESCENT IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS

: 00:03 Hour

In this lecture,  we will cover foundational knowledge essential for understanding and addressing adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.By the end of the session, attendees will be equipped with the essential concepts needed to provide effective care for adolescents with scoliosis.
