Abstract
Background: This study conducted to find out the effectiveness of trunk flexion rotation, extension rotation and combined flexion rotation & extension rotation exercises in reduction of scoliosis. Twenty five male scoliotic subjects secondary to post-polio residual paralysis were selected for the study as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Method: Materials used for the study were Rontgenograph, Protractor, Pencil and Scale to evaluate the Cobb’s angle. Purposive random sampling method used to select the subjects in three groups for the study. E ach group A, B and C performed trunk flexion rotation, extension rotation and combined flexion rotation and ex tension rotation exercises respectively. Subjects performed exercise regularly twice a day for five months u nder the supervision of the researcher. The subjects did exercise for one hour with one minute rest in betwee n each movement. Cobb’s angle was measured before and after the treatment program for each subject. Results: The calculated t’ value of group A, B and C were 11.00, 9.00 and 10.95 respectively at 5% level and P < 0.0001 for all groups, there for it was significant in reduction of angle of scoliosis among pos t- polio residual paralysis. The comparative study found that there was no significant difference in reduction of scol iosis among the groups. Conclusion: Based on the statistical analysis performed it could conclude that all the groups undergone trunk rotation exercises have improvement in terms of reduction of scoliosis but there was no much differe nce between the groups on reduction of scoliosis
