Muscle Energy Technique Versus Myofacial Release in Adolescents With Spinal Deformity

Spinal deformity may not only alter the physical appearance, but may also have a psychological impact on the child, particularly in the adolescent to whom self- image is so important.

This study will investigate the effect of muscle energy technique compared to myofacial release in the adolescent with spinal deformities( scoliosis and/ or kyphosis).

  • hey had neither visual, auditory defect.

Treatment and study plan

muscle energy technique and myofacial release (physiotherapy techniques)

Other

Each technique will be applied for three month (3 session/week)

Primary outcomes

  1. cobb angle for spinal deformities (scoliosis and/or kyphosis)

    Time frame: immediately before the beginning of the intervention procedures

    It is defined as the greatest angle at a particular region of the vertebral column, when measured from the superior endplate of a superior vertebra to the inferior endplate of an inferior vertebra. However, the endplates are generally parallel for each vertebra, so not all sources include usage of a superior versus inferior endplate in the definition.

  2. cobb angle for spinal deformities (scoliosis and/or kyphosis)

    Time frame: by the end of successful three month of intervention

    It is defined as the greatest angle at a particular region of the vertebral column, when measured from the superior endplate of a superior vertebra to the inferior endplate of an inferior vertebra. However, the endplates are generally parallel for each vertebra, so not all sources include usage of a superior versus inferior endplate in the definition.
