Introduction: scoliosis is characterized by three-dimensional changes in the spine, mainly in the thoracic and/or lumbar region, leading to musculoskeletal and pulmonary changes and changes in the person's functionality. After corrective spinal surgical intervention, the intervention of a rehabilitation nurse becomes essential, in order to guide and optimize the person's training and empowerment, in this phase of health-disease transition.
Clinical Case Report: clinical case study, inherent to the situation of a person undergoing corrective surgery for scoliosis. The nursing process was carried out, through data collection, evaluation, diagnosis survey, rehabilitation nursing interventions, and the respective results assessment. The numerical pain scale, the body balance assessment, the Barthel Index, the Functional Independence Measure and the Timed Up and Go test were used as assessment instruments. Based on the International Classification for Nursing Practice and the Rehabilitation Nurse Specialist standard of care document.
Discussion: the rehabilitation nursing plan implemented for the person undergoing corrective surgery for scoliosis contributed beneficially to the improvement of the ventilation pattern, muscle strength, mobility, gait, independence in carrying out self-care and increased functionality. There was an increase in knowledge and training in techniques to adapt to their situation, favoring a safe transition to home after hospital discharge.
Conclusion: in view of musculoskeletal and ventilatory changes, a Motor Functional Reeducation and Respiratory Functional Reeducation plan is extremely important, in association with the person's teaching and training plan
