NCT05636280 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: Schroth Intervention
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 24
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Although abdominal muscle thickness has been evaluated in individuals with scoliosis in the literature, there is no study in the literature reporting the relationship between abdominal muscle thickness under ultrasound as a result of schroth exercises. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Schroth method on abdominal muscle thickness in people with AIS.

Conditions

Scoliosis Idiopathic

Keywords

scoliosis; abdominal muscle thickness; schroth exercise

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Assessment of Abdominal Muscle Thickness Measurement Under Ultrasound

  Abdominal muscle imaging and measurement will be performed with the participants lying on their back with the soles of the feet on the bed with the knees flexed to 90 degrees and the hips to approximately 45 degrees of flexion. The medial convex probe will be placed at the intersection point of a horizontal line drawn from the navel to the lateral and a vertical line drawn from the anterior superior iliac spine to the cranial. The probe will be placed transversely so that the medial fascia of the transversus abdominus is medial to the image and the transversus abdominus, internal oblique and external oblique muscles are well visible.

  6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Assessment of Risser Sign

  6 weeks

• Assessment of cobb angle

  6 weeks

• Assessment of Angle of Trunk Rotation

  6 weeks

• Assessment of Quality of Life

• Age: 10 Years - 18 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Having been diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis by a specialist physician,
• years old,
• The primary curvature is between 10-45 degrees according to the Cobb method,
• C or S scoliosis,
• Pain in the back/lumbar region due to scoliosis,
• Those who have not received any exercise therapy for scoliosis before,
• Volunteer to participate in the study,
• Having the cognitive capacity to cooperate with the guidance of the physiotherapist,
• Have not had any musculoskeletal injury in the last 6 months,
• No neurological, orthopedic or cardiopulmonary disorders other than the diagnosis of scoliosis,
• Young individuals who have not undergone any surgery related to the diagnosis of scoliosis will be included in the study.

You may not qualify if:

• The patient has any contraindications for exercise,
• Having had previous spine surgery and abdominal surgery,
• Having any mental problems,
• The fact that scoliosis is not idiopathic but has arisen for different reasons (neurological, congenital),
