Kineziterapijski pristup u korekciji skolioza kod adolescenata : završni rad

Adolescentna skolioza je deformacija kralježnice koja se očituje kao postranično iskrivljenje kralježnice te može biti u obliku slova “C“ ili “S”. Iskrivljenje se pojavljuje u sve tri ravnine, frontalnoj, sagitalnoj i horizontalnoj. Skolioza može imati različite oblike i mogu biti zahvaćeni razni dijelovi kralježnice, može biti cervikalna, cervikotorakalna, torakalna, torakolumbalna te lumbalna skolioza. Poprilično je česta pojava kod adolescenata, a razlozi su različiti. Jedan od najčešćih jest nagli rast tijekom puberteta, ali također to mogu biti i genetske predispozicije, promjene u strukturi mišića te premalo tjelesne aktivnosti. Izrazito je važno skoliozu otkriti što ranije te provesti sve konzervativne postupke u nastojanju napretka i otklanjanja poteškoća prije nego se razmotri operativno liječenje. Skolioza može stvarati poteškoće zdravstvenog i estetskog karaktera. Danas se skolioza otklanja, odnosno umanjuje raznim kineziterapijskim postupcima koji su opisani u tekstu. Na taj se način izrazito poboljšava kvaliteta života adolescenata te im omogućava nesmetan i zdrav daljnji rast i razvoj. Također je od izrazite važnosti što ranije započeti sa učenjem značajnosti tjelesne aktivnosti te pravilnih obrazaca posture.Adolescent scoliosis is a deformity of the spine that manifests itself as a lateral distorsion of the spine and it can be in the shape of the letter “C“ or “S“. Distortion occurs in all three planes, frontal, sagital and horizontal. Scoliosis can have different forms and can affect various parts of the spine, it can be cervical, cervicothoracic, thoracic, thoracolumbal and lumbar. It is quite common in adolescents and there are various reasons for its development. One of the most common reason is rapid growth during puberty, but it can also be caused by genetic predispositions, changes in muscle structure and not enought physical activity. It is extremely important to detect scoliosis as early as possible and to go through all the conservative procedures that can help with progression and elimination of the difficulties before considering the surgical treatment. Scoliosis can create difficulties of health and aestetic character. Today, scoliosis is being resolved and reduced with various kinesiotherapeutic tretments that are desribed in this work. This way the quality of life of adolescents is significantly improved and allows them to grow and develop healthily. It is also of great importance to start learning the significance of physical acivity and proper posture patterns as early as possible
