Hemivertebra torácica e atividade de vida diária: relato de caso com enfoque fisioterapêutico

Abstract

Aims: This study describes the functional evolution of a patient with a thoracic hemivertebra, a congenital condition associated with structural changes in the spine and possible functional limitations. Methods: It is a case report of a patient with a history of intense and progressive pain, aggravated by factors such as pregnancy and physical overload. After a late diagnosis, she initially received restrictive guidance, without significant clinical improvement. Case Report: The introduction of a supervised resistance exercise program through physiotherapy promoted complete pain reduction, improved muscle strength, postural stability, and functional independence. A positive impact was also observed on quality of life and performance of daily activities. Considerations: The case highlights the effectiveness of active physiotherapeutic management in the conservative treatment of hemivertebra.
