Abstract

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of manual therapy with functional electrical stimulation (FES) on scoliosis curve and quality of life in children with cerebral palsy (CP). [Participants and Methods] Two children with CP performed 30 minutes of manual therapy and 30 minutes of FES three times a week for 3 months. The Cobb's angle and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) score were assessed before and after the intervention. [Results] The Cobb's angle and PedsQL score were improved after intervention. [Conclusion] Our results indicate that manual therapy with FES was effective for improving scoliosis curve and quality of life.
