METHODS AND EFFECTS IN SCOLIOSIS TREATMENT

Skolioza je najčešća deformacija kralježnice, koja se odvija u horizontalnoj, sagitalnoj i frontalnoj ravnini. Skolioze se razlikuju po dobi kada se javljaju, etiologiji nastanka, te razlikujemo dva glavna tipa skolioze, a to su strukturalne i nestrukturalne Kineziterapija se oduvijek bavila tretmanom skolioza, a kako postoji više teorija o skoliozi, tako postoje i brojne metode za njihovu korekciju. Danas postoji mnogo različitih neoperativnih pristupa u tretmanu skolioza, stoga je cilj ovog rada prikazati učinkovitost pojedinih vrsta fizioterapijskih metoda u tretiranju skolioza. Pretragom literature vidljivo kako učinkovitost tretmana ovisi o vrsti, lokalizaciji krivine i samoj osobi, stoga je teško dati izrazitu prednost samo jednoj metodi, no u prikupljenim istraživanjima najučinkovitija se pokazala Schroth metoda, kao jedna od najpouzdanijih metoda u tretmanu skolioza.Scoliosis is the most frequent spinal deformity in horizontal, sagittal and frontal level. Types of scoliosis differ by the age when they appear, etiology of the origin. There are two main types of scoliosis – structural and nonstructural. Kinesitherapy has always prospected with therapy of scoliosis, since there is more than one scoliosis theory, there are numerous approaches to correction scoliosis. Nowadays there are many different non-operative approaches to the scoliosis treatment, therefore, the objective od this pape ris to review the efficiency of some physiotherapeutic methods to scoliosis treatment. Research has showed that efficiency of the treatment depends on the type, locality od the curve and a patient himself, hence it's difficult to emphasize only one method, but in rallied research the most effective has showed the Schroth method, as one of the most reliable methods in scoliosis treatment
