Results of an Aerobic Exercising Program on Respiratory Muscle Strength in Patients With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Irmandade da Santa Casa de Misericordia de Sao Paulo·interventional·Posted Apr 23, 2009·Updated Feb 26, 2016

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Aerobic exercise program for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Completed, enrolled 90 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) can change the respiratory dynamics and performance of the inspiratory and expiratory muscles, affecting ventilatory capacity. This was a randomized, controlled, open study to test the impact of a physiotherapeutic program of aerobic exercises on respiratory muscle strength, in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Patients with AIS were randomly assigned to the aerobic exercise-training program group or the no treatment group. There was a significant increase in Pimax and Pemax in the group which received physiotherapy.

Interventions

Aerobic exercise programother

Three weekly sessions, with an interval of one day between each, lasting 60 minutes each, and divided into three separate stages: - A 10-minute warm-up (stretching and low intensity aerobic exercises such as slow, gradual walking); - 40 minutes of aerobic exercise on an electric treadmill, with the work intensity maintained at a 60% to 80% of the maximum heart rate; - 10 minutes of winding down and relaxation (stretching exercises, low energy expenditure aerobics and relaxation techniques).
