摘要

Background

Screening and early diagnosis of incorrect body posture in children and adolescents are crucial for identifying high-risk populations and implementing targeted interventions to prevent posture-related health complications. Coordination Dynamics Therapy (CDT) applies a biofeedback method that stimulates coordinated movements of the trunk and extremities to help correct posture.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of CDT on posture and stability in adolescents with posture disorders and compare it with conventional kinesiotherapy (CON).

Methods

Forty patients (mean age 12.69 ± 1.70 years) were divided into two groups. The first group underwent 18 sessions of CDT, and the second group underwent 18 sessions of CON. Posture was assessed by measuring the spinal range of motion and performing muscle tests based on Janda’s approach. Stability was measured posturographically. Assessments were conducted within 24 h before and after the intervention.

Results

After 9–10 weeks, significant improvements in spinal range of motion, trunk muscle strength, and stability were observed in both groups (p < 0.05). The CDT group showed greater improvement in spinal range of motion (d = 1.005) and stability (d = 0.794), while the CON group demonstrated a more significant strengthening of weakened muscle groups (d = 1.69).

Conclusions

CDT can be effectively integrated into rehabilitation programs for adolescents with posture disorders, complementing conventional kinesiotherapy. These findings support CDT as an affordable and effective therapeutic tool to enhance posture correction and stability.
