- Abstract
Premises: scientific research has proved the importance of kinetotherapy in correcting scoliosis in C and the quality of life. One states that the kinetotherapy programs concur to the slowing down of scoliosis and to the reduction of functional disorders. The objective of this study is the effect analysis of a complex kinetotherapeutic program on a physical deficiency, scoliosis, in C, to small aged school children. The study was effectuated on a period of 12 months, comprising 30 subjects (girls) with ages 9-11. The subjects participated in a kinetotherapeutic exercise program on 50 minutes, twice a week, the program being adapted to each and everyone's individual characteristics. The evaluation included specific tests, functional tests for usual movements and the spine evaluation. After 12 months of kinetotherapeutic program specific to the improvement of scoliosis, the results showed an amelioration of the tested parameters. Conclusions The statistic analysis of the data involved proved an improvement of the tested parameters. The study points out that a complex and constant kinetotherapeutic program contributes to the cessation of scoliosis in C and induces positive effects on the functional parameters with a considerable impact on the life quality of small aged school children with scoliosis. Once the physical deficiency has been tracked down, a complex treatment shall be set up that will consider the nature and the cause of the deficiency in question as well as the morphological and functional characteristics of the deficient child.
