Impact of corrective exercises on the power and balance of adolescent girls suffering from scoliosis

The present research has been conducted with the aim of assessment of the impact of corrective exercises on the change of power and balance of adolescent girls suffering from scoliosis. For this purpose 30 students among those referred to Corrective Exercise Center of Tehran Dist. 4 Education Board within the age range of 13-16 years were selected. Masculine power was measured by dynamometer device and the balance was tested by balance plate. Testees participated in corrective exercise plans for a period of 6 weeks, each week four sessions of one and a half hours each. After completion of the plan, pair t-test was used for verifying significance of the rate of impact of corrective motions on dependent variables and for comparing the data before and after accomplishment of corrective e motions. For statistical analysis we used SPSS 16 software. The result of analyses showed that there was a significant difference between variables of power and balance before and after exercises; and in total we can conclude that corrective motions would cause an improvement in power and balance of scoliotic girls.
