| Résumé : |
Background: Idiopathic scoliosis is associated, among others, to muscular imbalance, functional limitations, and the most prevalent, back pain. The treatments usually applied are exercise, bracing or surgery. The objective of corrective exercise is to reduce symptoms and improve functional capacity and quality of life. Myofascial release (MFR) or Self-Myofascial release (SMFR) are manual techniques, intended to restore optimal muscle and fascia length, decrease pain, and improve function.
Purpose: to analyze the effects of MFR and postural control programs in lower back pain and scoliosis curves. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in high quality databases to identify the existing evidence of the effects of MFR and postural control on reducing back pain and scoliosis curves. Results: Seventeen studies met inclusion criteria. 533 subjects and 94 MFR/SMFR applied interventions lasting one to 24 weeks/sessions were identified. Ten studies used MFR, six SMFR and one mixes techniques. Seven MFR and five SMFR studies shown positive result. One study using MFR and one using SMFR applied also postural control exercises. MFR was useful to reduce back pain in all studies included that aimed in that matter. In addition, 12 studies reported improvements in flexibility and/or stiffness reduction, and two studies observed improvements in postural control and balance. Conclusions: The combination of MFR and postural control programs might be suitable for reducing scoliosis and back pain. However, due to the reduced number of studies and the relatively small sample sizes used, results may be carefully interpreted, and more studies are needed. |
