    This study used the repeated measure design to investigate the effect of functional electrical stimulation (FES) when combined with gait training on treadmill in children with mildly to moderately spastic diplegia. Subjects and methods: Seven children with mildly to moderately spastic diplegia were four boys and three girls and aged between 6.12 and 11.46 years old (mean aged of 8.75±2.00 years). They could walk independently and having the gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) at I-II level. The children received 2 conditions of training (gait training on treadmill only and gait training on treadmill with FES). They were trained 2 sessions per week for 6 weeks in each condition and had a rest for a week before the 2nd condition. The ViconTM motion analysis laboratory was used to collect and evaluate the gait parameters before and after each gait training condition. Results: There were significantly differences of the maximal ankle dorsiflexion angle at the swing phase (p = 0.008), level of heel rising at the stance phase (p = 0.001), and stride length (p = 0.031) between gait training on treadmill with and without FES. Conclusion: The effect of a combination of the FES and gait training on treadmill can promote mobility of the swinging leg and stability of the standing leg during gait.

    Inter- and Intra-rater Reliability of postural assessment for scoliosis
    (2014-07) Chompunoot Suwanasri; Wimonrat Sakullertphasuk; Meena Tosiriphattana; Thachakorn Sa-ngounsak; Worawan Ekabutr; Mahidol University. Faculty of Physical therapy
    Objective: The purpose of the present study is to assess the inter- and intra-rater reliability of a postural assessment for detecting scoliosis between 4th year physical therapy (PT) students and PT specialists by using 30 postural indices. Material and Method: Six examiners, three 4th year PT students and 3 certified PT specialists, performed the postural indices on 10 asymptomatic subjects. Results: Inter-rater reliability between 4th year students and PT specialists and intra-rater reliability ranged from poor to almost perfect. Two items that needed rectification were PSIS level and iliac crest. Conclusion: There was a variable range of values in agreement either within or between examiners for the assessment of scoliosis screening. This shows that the assessment in scoliosis screening should be used with caution by 4th year students.

    Prevalence of scoliosis among high school students
    (2015) Wimonrat Sakullertphasuk; Chompunoot Suwanasri; Laddawan Saetang; Noochjaree Siri; Pathtarajaree Junsiri; Siriwan Yotsungnoen; Phrattaya Phakpakorn; Meena Tosiriphattana; Mahidol University. Faculty of Physical Therapy
    Objective: This study aimed to survey the prevalence of scoliosis in Thai high school students. Material and Method: Physical therapists assessed the postural alignment in three planes during standing position by observation, palpation, and Adam’s forward bending test. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square analysis. Results: Three hundred and seventy-four high school students (297 males and 77 females) were recruited from three schools in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area. The prevalence of scoliosis was 22.7%. A significant difference was observed between sex and scoliosis prevalence (χ2 = 6.73, p < 0.05) with a prevalence ratio (female:male) of 1.70. A significant difference of scoliosis prevalence was found between school 1 and school 3 (χ2 = 4.33, p < 0.05) with a ratio of 1.74. Most scoliosis levels were found at the thoracolumbar level. The assessments of 84.7% for waist form, 76.5% for scapular border, and 71.8% for thoracic scoliosis were the most common anomaly of postural alignment in the scoliosis group. Conclusion: The prevalence of scoliosis in females was higher than in males at a ratio of 1.70. A significant difference was revealed among schools that might be affected by environmental factors.
