Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main aim of the investigator's study is to investigate the effect of Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSE) on spine joint reposition sense and also to investigate the effect of PSSE on vertebral rotation, pain, posture, body image and quality of life in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS).

Twenty-six patients with AIS will randomly allocated to two groups. 'Schroth' exercises will apply to the PSSE group for 8 weeks (16 sessions). The control group wiil teach basic elements. Patients' spinal pain (Visual Analogue Scale), posture parameters (PostureScreen Mobile, Posterior Trunk Asymmetry Index (POTSI) and Anterior Trunk Asymmetry Index (ATSI)), cosmetic perception (Walter Reed Visual Evaluation Scale (WRVAS)), joint reposition sensations (dual-inclinometer), quality of life (Pediatric Quality of Life Scale and SRS-22) will assess at the first session and at the end of 8 weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine which is seen in 1-3% of the adolescent population and mostly in girls. Lateral curvature in the frontal plane, axial rotation in the horizontal plane, and kyphosis and lordosis in the sagittal plane are observed. Etiology-related factors of AIS are genetic factors, abnormal neurophysiological functions occurring in the nervous system, hormones, metabolic dysfunction, abnormal skeletal development, biomedical factors, environmental and lifestyle factors.

The vertical position is associated with cortical, subcortical and medullar integration, and postural control based on bodily input.

Approaches as observation, patient education, scoliosis-specific physiotherapy exercises (PSSE), inpatient rehabilitation, electrical stimulation, manipulative applications and brace application are the conservative treatments of scoliosis. PSSE, which includes three-dimensional correction, daily life activities training, posture stabilization and patient education, is a method recommended by Society On Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) for the conservative treatment of scoliosis. The Schroth 'method is one of the PSSE methods that use three-dimensional postural correction mechanisms. The main goal of the Schroth 'exercises is to reduce the asymmetric load on the spine by using posture variations specific to the patient's curvature. There are no studies i regarding the effect of PSSE on changing proprioceptive neural mechanisms evaluated in the etiopathogenesis of scoliosis.
