Abstract
Background: Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common structural spinal deformity in children and adolescents that affects about 2{u2013}3% of the population. Early identification and intervention has been shown to prevent the need for surgery by halting or slowing the progression of structural scoliotic curve. The Purpose of this study is to compare between the effect of integrated exercise program and bracing on Cobb{u2019}s angle in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Subjects: Sixty subjects with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (54 females, 6 males), was divided into 2 equal groups. group A consists of 30 subjects mean age (14.6±1.07SD) years, height (1.52± 0.07) meters, mean weight (50.27± 5) kilograms; received the integrated exercises program for 6 months. The integrated exercises program consists of Schroth, Core stability, Yoga, Pilates exercises and Myofascial release. group B consists of 30 subjects mean age (15.1±1.16) years, mean height (1.53±0.05) meters, mean weight (52.23±2.73) kilograms; used Boston Brace for 6 months. Cobb{u2019}s angle was measured before and after treatment. Results: the mean of Cobb{u2019}s angle in group A before intervention (35.2±3.03) and after intervention (33.2±2.86) and in group B before intervention (34.7±2.76) and after intervention (35.5±2.56) while the p value (between groups) in group A before and after intervention was (0.000), in group B before and after intervention was (0.006)
