The Effect of Queenax Training on Cobb Angle and Quality of Life in Patients with Scoliosis

Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the effect of Queenax Training applied to individuals with scoliosis on Cobb Angle and Quality of Life. Material Method: While the population of the research consisted of people who applied to the Orthopedics and Traumatology clinic of Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine Hospital, the sample group consisted of female patients with an age range of 13-18 and scoliosis curvatures between 10° and 35°. To determine the Cobb angles of the participants participating in the study, the radiographic examination method was determined by the Cobb angle measurement method on the anterior-posterior scoliosis radiograph. Measurements were made in the radiography laboratory of the Orthopedics and Traumatology department at Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine Hospital. Participants were randomly determined as exercise group (n: 18) and control group (n: 18). The SRS-22 quality of life survey was administered to the participants before and after the study. Participants included in the exercise group underwent Queenax training for 18 weeks (3 days a week - 60 minutes). After the 4th, 8th and 12th weeks, the number of repetitions and sets of the exercise was increased. Cobb angle measurements were made 3 times, both at the beginning and at the 10th and 18th weeks. Results: It was determined that the degree of Cobb angles of the participants in the exercise group remained constant or decreased slightly at the end of the study. (p>0.05). It was determined that the Cobb angles of the volunteers in the control group increased at the end of the 18th week (p<0.05). According to the SRS-22 quality of life scale applied to the exercise group and the control group, it was determined that there was a significant difference in favor of the exercise group (p<0.05). According to the results of this study, it was determined that Queenax training did not reduce the Cobb angle, but prevented its increase. It was determined that the participants had a positive improvement in their quality of life.

Skolyozlu Olgularda Queenax Antrenmanının Cobb Açısı ve Yaşam Kalitesine Etkisi

Öz

Yapılan bu çalışma skolyozu bulunan bireylere uygulanan Queenax Antrenmanının Cobb Açısı ve Yaşam Kalitesi üzerine etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Materyal Metot: Araştırmanın evreni Erciyes Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji kliniğine başvuran kişiler oluştururken, örneklem grubunu ise yaş aralığı 13-18 olan ve skolyoz eğrilikleri 10o – 35o arasındaki kadın hastalar oluşturmuştur. Araştırmaya katılan katılımcıların cobb açılarının belirlenmesi için, radyografik muayene yöntemi olarak anterio-posteriorun skolyoz grafisinde cobb açısı ölçümü yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Ölçümler Erciyes Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesindeki Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji bölümünün radyografi laboratuvarında yapılmıştır. Katılımcılar rastgele olarak egzersiz grubu (n: 18) ve kontrol grubu (n: 18) şeklinde belirlendi. Katılımcılara çalışmanın öncesinde ve çalışma tamamlandıktan SRS-22 yaşam kalitesi anketi uygulandı. Egzersiz grubuna dahil edilen katılımcılara 18 hafta boyunca (haftada 3 gün-60 dk) Queenax antrenmanı yaptırıldı. 4., 8. ve 12. haftalardan sonra uygulanan egzersizin tekrar-set sayıları artırıldı. Cobb açısı ölçümleri hem başlangıçta hem de 10. ve 18. hafta olmak üzere 3 defa yapıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan egzersiz grubundaki katılımcıların cobb açılarının derecesinin çalışma sonunda sabit kaldığı veya biraz azaldığı belirlenmiştir. (p>0.05). Kontrol grubundaki gönüllülerin Cobb açılarının 18. hafta sonunda arttığı belirlenmiştir (p<0,05). Egzersiz grubu ile kontrol grubuna uygulanan SRS-22 yaşam kalite ölçeğine göre egzersiz grubu lehine anlamlı bir fark olduğu tespit edildi (p<0,05). Bu araştırmanın sonucuna göre Queenax antrenmanlarının Cobb açısında azalma sağlamamakla beraber artışı önlediği belirlendi. Katılımcıların yaşam kalitesinde pozitif anlamla iyileşme gerçekleştirdiği belirlendi.
