Physiotherapy application on scoliosis with emphasis on idiopathic scoliosis
TRAPLOVÁ, Kristýna
Scoliosis is defined as three-dimensional spinal deformity with vertebra deformation in the frontal, sagittal and transversal planes. The aetiology of this disease is unknown, uncertainty occurs in its diagnostics, prognosis as well as in treatment. The first, theoretical part is aimed at processing theoretical materials and their transparency. The practical part is aimed at evaluation of effectiveness of various physiotherapeutic procedures in scoliosis. In the theoretical part of this thesis I present information on anatomical structures affected by scoliosis. The work informs on various classification of scoliosis, it deals with diagnostics, examination and therapy. There are a number of procedures used for scoliosis diagnosis. Only those applied at the workplace where the research was performed are dealt with in detail. The qualitative research method was chosen for the practical part hereof. Two patients with idiopathic scoliosis regularly visiting the outpatient clinic of the Hospital České Budějovice Physiotherapeutic Department were chosen for the research. Both the patients were similar age and their therapy took a similar period. The research is aimed at idiopathic scoliosis examination and therapy monitoring. The results were processed in case-based form. The work evaluates effectiveness of various individual physiotherapeutic procedures and the research shows that application of multiple methods on one patient brings the best result. The results of the work may be used by physiotherapists or other medical staff in their practice, but may also serve as a source of information for patients and their parents.
