Brief Summary

In individuals diagnosed with AIS, significant regressions in curvature were observed with the use of schroth exercises and brace. It is known that neurological changes affect the vestibular system and create changes in the individual's balance and proprioception. At the same time, when static and balance are examined, it is seen that they have difficulty in maintaining their dynamic balance and their body center of gravity oscillations increase. There are a limited number of studies in the literature evaluating individuals diagnosed with AIS in the combined treatment of brace use and Schroth exercises.

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• The effect of clinical based Schroth exercises on the cervical proprioception

  Individuals will be seated with their eyes closed, with the laser pointer on their heads, and will be asked to target the 0 point on the target board in front of them. After performing 5 repetitions of flexion and 5 repetitions of extension movements, deviations from the 0 point will be recorded.

• The effect of home based Schroth exercises on the cervical proprioception

  Individuals will be seated with their eyes closed, with the laser pointer on their heads, and will be asked to target the 0 point on the target board in front of them. After performing 5 repetitions of flexion and 5 repetitions of extension movements, deviations from the 0 point will be recorded.

Study Arms (2)

Home based Group

15 patients in the home-based group and their parents will be informed about the treatment program. Exercise training will be given to individuals by a physiotherapist trained in ISST- International Schroth 3-Dimensional Scoliosis Therapy. Individuals in this group will be included in an exercise program 1 day a week (8 sessions) accompanied by a physiotherapist for 8 weeks. Each exercise session will last 50 minutes. Patients will be asked to do the given home exercises on the remaining 6 days of the week.

Other: Home based exercise

Clinic based Group

15 patients and their parents in the clinic-based group will be informed about the treatment program. Exercise training will be given to individuals by a physiotherapist trained in ISST- International Schroth 3-Dimensional Scoliosis Therapy. Individuals in this group will be included in an exercise program 3 days a week (24 sessions) with a physiotherapist for 8 weeks. Each exercise session will last 50 minutes. Patients will be asked to do the given home exercises on the remaining 4 days of the week.

Other: Clinic based exercise
