Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
PSSE Group
Individuals will receive at least 6 sessions of physiotherapeutic scoliosis specific exercises (PSSE) (Schroth) physical therapy. Patients will also be required to perform exercises 5x/wk for 15 minutes at home. Compliance will be monitored by written log and weekly phone check-in after 8 weeks.
Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis Specific Exercises (PSSE)
Exercises with emphasis on trunk extensor strengthening, and teaching patient better postural strategies in supine, sidelying, sitting, standing, and dynamic movements (walking, squatting), led by a PSSE-trained physical therapist.
Conventional PT Group
Individuals will receive at least 6 sessions of conventional physical therapy (PT). Patients will also be required to perform exercises 5x/wk for 15 minutes at home. Compliance will be monitored by written log and weekly phone check-in after 8 weeks.
Conventional Physical Therapy (PT)
Conventional PT includes generalized pelvis, and trunk strengthening, lower extremity (LE) stretching, and use of modalities (ice and heat), iontophoresis and E-Stim.
