Article Synopsis
- Stretching exercises may enhance spinal flexibility in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) but do not significantly improve initial correction when wearing orthoses.
- A pilot study compared a group performing self-stretching exercises (13 subjects) with a control group (19 subjects) that did not stretch, measuring changes in spinal flexibility and initial Cobb angles.
- Results indicated that while spinal flexibility improved in the stretching group, the initial correction angles were not significantly different between the two groups, suggesting larger studies are needed for long-term effects.
