The focus of this study is to introduce the relationship between the forward bending test and scoliosis. As the studies on scoliosis have been insufficient in the field of school health, this study was conducted to exemine in the effect of a spinal-exercise program, including posture education on the elementary school students with scoliosis.
This experiment is tat one(20 students) is classified as experimental group and the other(20 students) is classified as control group in total 40 students in 4th and 5th grades of two elementary schools over cobb's angle 10.
The purpose of experiment is to improve flexibility, equilibrium, and cobb's angle to implement spinal-excercise program, and to present basic data and methods for improvement of scoliosis in spinal-exercise program. Windows SPSS 10.0 was used for data processing of experiment and two way-mixed ANOVA was used for result of measurement.
Throughout this experiment spinal-exercise program used is helpful for improvement of scoliosis. It proves improvement of cobb's angle as well as similiar improvement of flexibility and equilibrium.
Many people would like to be interested in scoliosis and right position that the spinal-exercise program used in this experiment and smiliar exercise-programs are used for particular activity and health study in elementary or middle schools.
