The effects of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) approach on gait, lumbopelvic functional stability and abdominal core strength among adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS): A randomized controlled trial study protocol
Introduction
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity affecting young adults aged 10 years and above. Severity of scoliosis usually increase with aged, and hence early detection of scoliosis is crucial for conservative treatment to avoid surgery and preserving health-related quality of life. This study aim to evaluate the effectiveness of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) approach in gait, abdominal core stability and lumbopelvic functional stability in individual with AIS.
Methods
24 targeted AIS participants will be randomly allocated into two group for 12-week interventions, three times per week including 2 non-supervised sessions. Outcome measure will be assessed using measuring tape, stabilizer pressure biofeedback, wearable sensor BTS G-walk® with treadmill. Paired t-test will be used to assess within groups and independent t-test will be used to assess the efficacy of intervention between groups.
Results
This study protocol hypothesizes that DNS approach will have a more significant impact on improving the gait, core stability and lumbopelvic stability among AIS.
Conclusion
DNS approach can be effectively implemented in clinical settings to enhance the physical and functional mobility AIS patients.
