The use of therapeutic exercises for thoracic scoliosis of the second degree for secondary school students in the format of telerehabilitation

The article will reveal the issue of organizing physical therapy for second-degree scoliosis in secondary school students in the format of telerehabilitation, which has its own characteristics and approaches to use. The relevance of this modern direction is that the patient independently (as a rule, at home) performs restorative treatment programs at the outpatient stage under remote control and guidance of a specialist doctor. According to the format of telerehabilitation, the program of physical therapy of the thoracic spine included a consultation on the patient’s orthopedic regimen and safety techniques during therapeutic exercises, as well as special sets of therapeutic exercises. Therapeutic exercise classes were held in such periods as gentle, gentle-training and training, each of them had its own tasks. All periods included exercises for forming the correct posture, symmetrical exercises, static exercises, exercises for relaxation, toning muscle building, exercises for adjusting and stabilizing the spine in the correct position, etc. Scoliometry was used to evaluate the results of telerehabilitation. The effectiveness of the organization of telerehabilitation for thoracic scoliosis of the second degree in middle school students showed a positive dynamic of scoliometry, the angle of curvature changed in each patient to a smaller side, which indicates correctly selected methods of physical therapy and their dosage. It was also concluded that the development of telerehabilitation is a very urgent problem nowadays. This direction of physical therapy should be improved through the development of programs for asynchronous telerehabilitation, where the patient will be able to engage in his recovery at a time convenient for him and interact with the physical therapist through appropriate applications.
