We enrolled 10 patients (5 for the experimental group, and 5 for control group) with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, treated for up to 4 individual sessions of 40 minutes, according to a Self-correction of the scoliotic curve learning approach. Inclusion criteria:
-
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
-
Cobb degrees range between 15 ° and 30 °
-
Patients with, or without, brace treatment
The control group, mean age 12.4 years, Risser 2.6 and degrees Cobb 14.8 °, was driven to the learning of Self-correction in the traditional way (verbal approach and passive movement) while with the experimental group, mean age 13.2 years, Risser 3 and degrees Cobb 15.2, we introduced using of the BPU to obtain the vertebral derotation [3]. Patients were subjected to analysis of posture with Formetric in 1 ^ seated (at rest) and 2^, 3^ and 4 ^ session (position of Self-correction), to evaluate the timing, and the ability to learn.
