The effect of a four-week intensive scoliosis-specific exercises programme on Cobb angle in subjects with idiopathic scoliosis: an 11 patient case series

Materials and methods 11 patients (9 females, 2 male) with IS (9 thoracic curve patients and 5 thoracolumbar/lumbar curve patients) and a mean age of 16.45 years (Range 7-36 years) were treated with a four-week intensive scoliosis-specific physiotherapy course (ScolioGold). Patients’ initial x-rays were supplied in retrospect and follow-up x-rays gathered after patients’ routine check-up appointments. Each x-ray was taken by an independent radiographer and all x-rays measured by the same rater.
