Impact of Physical Therapy Program in Mouthbreathing Children After Adenotonsillectomy

MB Children maintains the same postural pattern in preoperative and postoperative adenotonsillectomy? The age influences the incidence of more exacerbated postural changes? The proposed early physiotherapy intervention can minimize future functional deficits? Trying to answer some of these questions, the objective of present study is to investigate the initial kinematics of the shoulder girdle, cervical and thoracic spine in MB children pre and post adenotonsillectomy and then evaluate the effects of a physical therapy intervention program for MB children who persisted with postural changes.
