Methods : A 23-aged adult scoliosis with diagnosed herniated lumbar disc. The patient was treated by PNF for 30 minutes a day, 2 times a week during six weeks. Active lumbar flexion ROM and difficulty of activity of daily living were evaluated by the Modified-Modified Schober test and Oswestry Disability Questionnaire every week after treatment including the pretest of the first day of treatment. Results : There were a significant improvement in active lumbar flexion ROM between pretest and the last test. There were significant decreased in difficulty of activity of daily living positive between pretest and the last test. Conclusion : PNF will be useful for increasing active lumbar flexion ROM and decreasing the difficulty of activity of daily living positive for adult scoliosis with low back pain.
