Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Schroth exercises and kinesiological taping on spinal deformities and serum markers in young adults with scoliosis. The study will include young adults aged 18-21 with scoliosis. A total of 57 participants will be included in the study. Out of 57 participants, 38 have scoliosis, and 19 are healthy. 38 participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups. One group (n=19) will receive only Schroth exercises, and the other group (n=19) will receive both Schroth exercises and kinesiological taping. The laboratory analyses of proteins associated with autophagy (Beclin-1, LC3, and ATG3) and bone-cartilage metabolism (COMP and MMP-3) will be conducted in the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory of our university. Trunk rotation will be assessed using the Adams Forward Bend Test with scoliometer, quality of life will be evaluated with the SRS-22 Quality of Life questionnaire and Quality of life profile for spinal deformities questionnaire, perception of deformity will be measured using the Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale, and Cobb angles will be evaluated from anterior-posterior X-ray images.

Conditions

Scoliosis; Scoliosis Idiopathic; Musculoskeletal Deformity

Keywords

Scoliosis; Exercise

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Trunk rotation

  This method assesses spinal rotation caused by scoliosis. Individuals were asked to stand with their feet together and shoulders width apart, and then to bend forward. Rotation degrees were measured using a scoliometer.

  At the beginning of the study and three months later

• Cobb angles

  At the beginning and end of the study, participants will have their Cobb angle evaluated from anterior-posterior and posterior-anterior X-ray images.

  At the beginning of the study and three months later

• Serum markers

  The laboratory analyses of proteins associated with autophagy (Beclin-1, LC3, and ATG3) and bone-cartilage metabolism (COMP and MMP-3) will be conducted in the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory of our university.

  At the beginning of the study and three months later

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Quality of life with scoliosis people

  At the beginning of the study and three months later

• Body image assessment

  At the beginning of the study and three months later

Study Arms (3)

Exercise group

EXPERIMENTAL

For 12 weeks, participants will receive rotational breathing, correction techniques, positioning, mobilization, and three-dimensional exercises specific to their curvature twice a week.

Other: Just Exercise

Exercise and taping group

EXPERIMENTAL

For 12 weeks, participants will schroth exercises including receive rotational breathing, correction techniques, positioning, mobilization and three dimensional exercises specific to their curvature and kinesiological taping. Kinesiological taping will be applied as a tone enhancer or tone reducer according to the concave and convex sides of the curve.

Other: Exercise; Other: Taping

Healthy people

NO INTERVENTION

Healthy individuals without scoliosis will be included.

Interventions

Just Exercise OTHER

Schroth exercises are including rotational breathing, correction techniques, positioning, mobilization, and three-dimensional exercises specific to their curvature.

Exercise group

Exercise OTHER
