Sponsor's own description
Research on exercise methods for pectus excavatum (PE) is limited, highlighting the need for further studies. This study investigated the effects of Schroth-based exercise therapy combined with vacuum treatment in 35 adolescents with PE, divided into a vacuum + exercise group (n=19) and a vacuum-only group (n=16). Outcomes included deformity severity, sagittal posture, thoracic cage and spinal mobility, muscle endurance, and quality of life. The combination therapy significantly improved sagittal spinal posture (craniovertebral, thoracic, thoracolumbar, lumbar angles) and deformity-specific quality of life (Nuss Questionnaire scores) compared to vacuum-only treatment.
