Análise discursiva e observacional pela biofotometria dos portadores de escoliose atendidos no projeto de extensão tratamento fisioterápico dos desvios posturais

Abstract

Introduction: Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine, which develops in three dimensions, sagittal, frontal and horizontal. In physiotherapy, kinesiotherapy methods are used, which include stretching exercises, in addition to muscle strengthening and body awareness. Objective: To verify the effectiveness of the Klapp and Isostretching methods in the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis in patients aged varyng between 10 and 21 years old, using biophotometry. Method: Ten patients diagnosed with scoliosis were evaluated, they were submitted to physical therapy evaluation, radiological analysis and biophotometry. From these evaluations, the specific treatment for each volunteer was elaborated, twice a week, lasting 60 minutes, with total frequency varying between 19 and 26 visits. At the end of these visits, they were reassessed by biophotometry for comparison after treatment. Results: There was an improvement in the alignment of the shoulder, pelvis, trunk, protrusion of the head, scapulae and elbows. There was unevenness in the knees, head in relation to the trunk, lower limbs and vertebral bodies. Conclusion: There was an improvement in six (60%) of the anthropometric points evaluated, and the alignment of the elbows (OL / OL) and pelvis (EIAS / EIAS) were significant.
