Kinetic methods in the recovery of patients with dorsal kyphosis

Summary/Abstract: Kyphosis is the highlight of the physiological curvature of the spine in the chest region with a curve greater than 50 degrees. The objectives of this paper were the description of the disease, the presentation of the treatment methods, the periodic examination of how the applied recovery program influences the quality of life of the patient as well as the statistical modeling of the obtained results, in order to highlight the degree of effectiveness and the effects of the applied methods.The present study was performed on nine subjects aged between 9 and 17 years, where a specific recovery program was applied, individualized according to needs and requirements for each subject, pursuing the same objectives. Subjects were evaluated periodically at the beginning of treatment, at the end and then at a subsequent check.In order to highlight the degree of efficiency, as well as the effects of this recovery program on the patients with kyphosis, the resulting values were statistically modeled. Following the evaluation of the diagrams, the differences between the values that appear over time were identified. At large, the differences were found in the positive sense, thus highlighting the effectiveness of the recovery program. At control the results were variable depending on the patient's determination, so in three of the cases there were slight aggravations of the situation, but nevertheless in all in the cases there were improvements of the disease during the treatment.
