Schroth Exercise Versus Functional Electrical Stimulation in Adolescent With Spinal Deformities

Abnormal spinal curvature can occur as a result of neurologic, orthopedic or idiopathic factors. The role of physiotherapy is not only to prevent intrinsic changes that may occur in the spine but also be used to correct postural abnormalities. this study will investigate the impact of Schroth Exercise compared to Functional Electrical Stimulation in Adolescent With Spinal Deformities (scoliosis and or kyphosis).

Primary outcomes

  1. cobb angle

    Time frame: at the beginning of the study

    The measurement of Cobb angle involves estimating the angle between the two tangents of the upper and lower end-plates of the upper and lower end vertebra, respectively.

  2. cobb angle

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