Compensation Mechanism in Treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis with the FED Method – Preliminary Results
Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction. The idiopathic background of scoliosis makes it difficult to treat the disorder in a cause and effect way. This gives a starting point for creation of many physiotherapy treatment methods, among them the FED method. It is a new, but a very promising way of the conservative treatment for scoliosis. Research Goal. The assessment of impact of the FED treatment for reducing the angle of the primary curve (KTR P) and the secondary curve (KTR W) rotation, and the overall rotation of the spine (SDR). Materials and Methods. In the research participated girls 11 to 15 years old (M = 13.5 ±1.4), with the diagnosed double curve scoliosis of the second degree. In all the patients, there were carried out measurements of the angle of trunk rotation in the primary curve, secondary curve, cervical segment and the scoliosis coefficient was measured with a Zebris apparatus. There was also analyzed the sum of two rotations (SDR) parameter. The above examinations were performed before and after the three week treatment with the FED method. Results. After the application of the FED treatment method, we have observed statistically significant decrease in the average value of the trunk rotation angle at the levels of primary curve, secondary curve and cervical segment. Similar observations were made in the case of the scoliosis coefficient in Zebris examination. All the examined parameters have shown a significant decrease in the average output values (p < 0.001). Conclusions. Treatment of double curve scoliosis with the application of the FED method, for the period of 3 weeks, leads to reduction of the rotation angle of the trunk. This reduction applies to both, the primary and secondary curve, the overall rotation angle and the cervical segment. The FED therapy improves the total rotation of the whole spine.In the course of treatment, there occurs decrease in the angle of vertebrae rotation in the cervicothoracic segment.
