The effect of balancing exercises based on feel-deep receiver on dynamic balance in adolescent scoliosis patients

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of balancing exercises based on feel-deep receiver on dynamic balance in adolescent scoliosis patients. Scoliosis patients were identified using special tests such as Adams test. The cases of study were randomly divided into two experimental (n=12) and control (n=12) groups. Average angle of Cobb and mean age, mean height and mean weight in two groups were measured. Experimental group received three sessions a week for three months and exercised for 80 minutes. The data were analyzed using statistical tests and SPSS18 software. Significant level of results considered as P < 0/05. Results of this study showed that there is significant difference in Cobb angle in the experimental group before and after treatment (p<0.01). Patients had a significant improvement in balance function. But there was not significant difference between Cobb angle and balance in scoilosis patients. Exercise also leads to decreased postural deviations and fluctuations of 12± 2.04 to 9±3.38 degrees. Results of this study showed that exercises based on balancing movements reduced Cobb angle and raised balance in adolescent scoliosis patients.
