Abstract

Introduction: Scoliosis is a disorder characterized by lateral curvature and rotation of the spine. The initial phase begins with a triggering event during the growth period. Characteristics that can be seen in scoliosis patients are differences in posture on the right and left sides, the rotation of the spine, the presence of hump, and other complications, namely pain and tightness. Methods: This study was a case study with a brace method accompanied by CSE, which was carried out for approximately three months with an intensity of exercise 2 times a week and a home exercise program. The modified Borg scale measures shortness of breath. Pain is calculated using a visual analog scale. While scoliosis disorders are measured using two tools, namely the scoliometer and the Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS). Results: Using objective parameters, namely the scoliometer. The degree of a scoliosis curve decreases in the thoracic part, with the initial value at 10° to 7°. Then there is no significant reduction in the lumbar region, with the initial interpretation at 6° and back to 6°. The result obtained through TAPS is also a stagnant number which is interpreted as no change in numbers too large or small, which means that the patient does not feel any significant changes in posture after going through an exercise program. Conclusions: It can be concluded that there was a change in the scoliosis curve of the thoracic part by giving a brace accompanied by core stability exercises. However, this technique was less effective in the lumbar area. Behind that, when viewed during activities, patients felt a decrease in the intensity of tightness and pain.

Abstract

Non-hemorrhagic white matter stroke in the cerebral cortex can result in ipsilateral symptoms such as sensory and motor impairments, loss of balance, cognitive decline, and reduced mobility in both upper and lower extremities. These deficits significantly hinder the individual's ability to perform effective postural control, leading to difficulties in maintaining body position and directing movement. Consequently, patients with white matter lesions often experience functional movement limitations and exhibit uncoordinated or purposeless motor activities. This study aims to investigate the impact of physiotherapy intervention using the New Bobath Concept in a case of hemiplegia caused by non-hemorrhagic white matter stroke, focusing on improvements in postural control, body stability, gait pattern, and upper extremity functional abilities, particularly in reaching and grasping tasks. This study employed a case study design involving a four-week physiotherapy intervention based on the New Bobath Concept. Following five therapy sessions, notable improvements were observed, including enhanced body posture, improved postural control, increased weight-bearing on the left (affected) side, correction of the circumduction gait pattern, and improved upper limb functional performance in reaching and grasping tasks. Physiotherapy intervention using the New Bobath Concept demonstrated beneficial effects in enhancing postural alignment, improving postural control, facilitating weight-bearing on the affected side, correcting gait abnormalities, and increasing upper extremity function in a patient with hemiplegia due to non-hemorrhagic white matter stroke.
