Abstract:
Background. An increasing number of individuals have
scoliosis. Children are 50 times more likely than the general population to suffer from scoliosis if their parents suffer
from idiopathic scoliosis. It is described as a three-dimensional distortion of the torso and spine. Function and structure are the two categories into which scoliosis falls. This
kind of disease can lead to severe reductions in the range of
motion of the spine, excessive straining or stretching of the
muscles, and impairments in respiratory function. Aim of
study. Analysis of the latest literature data from the efficiency of functional methods and means in the rehabilitation of
patients with scoliosis. Methods and materials. A systematic approach was employed to examine peer-reviewed articles between the year of 2020 to 2024 in PubMed, Google
Scholar data base, ResearchGate, were analyzed the articles based on the keyword include rehabilitation, scoliosis,
functional scoliosis. Rehabilitation of people with scoliosis largely depends on the degree of curvature. For example, Nachemson et al examined 240 patients, aged 10 to 15
years, with thoracic or thoracolumbar curves between 25°
and 35°; 111 of these individuals received thoracolumbar
braces, while the remaining 129 were only observed. When
there was a progression of six degrees or more at any of the
two radiological follow-ups, the chosen treatment (brace
treatment versus observation) was deemed unsuccessful.
Very low-quality evidence with contradicting results makes
it difficult to determine how bracing compares to compares
to other methods of rehabilitation. While some literature
sources say that there is no evidence about the effectiveness of conservative treatment on scoliosis, they still have
an important impact in improving quality of life, function,
self-image, mental health and satisfaction with treatment.
Conclusion. Scoliosis is a pathology of young people with
significant clinical and functional deficits. Rehabilitation
methods and means are indicated in individual programs
depending on the degree and evolution of the disease.
