Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of scoliosis-specific exercises in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients, who had surgical indication, on functional capacity, cosmetic deformity perception, quality of life in postoperative period.

Detailed Description

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

30 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients, who had surgery indication and aged between 10-18 years, will be included. The participants will be randomised into two groups. 15 patients will be included in the exercise group and 15 patients in the control group. In the exercise group, a total of 12 sessions of exercise are planned, 6 weeks before the surgery and 2 days per week. In the control group, the exercise protocol will not be performed before surgery.

The outcomes will include the cosmetic deformity, quality of life, pain level, functional capacity, spine flexibility. In the exercise group, the evaluations will be made in the first interview (before exercise application), at the end of 6 weeks of exercise (when the exercise program is completed), in the early postoperative period and 12 weeks after surgery. Evaluations in the control group will be carried out at the first interview, at the 6th week, in the early postoperative period, and at the 12th week postoperatively.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Exercise group (Schroth best practice)

Exercise program will consists of scoliosis-specific exercises (schroth best practice), which is a pattern specific scoliosis rehabilitation concept and provide three dimensional improvements and include patient education for maintaining corrected posture in daily life. In addition, these exercises provide improvements in neuromuscular control and the endurance of the postural muscles.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise group (Schroth best practice)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Exercise program will be structured with scoliosis specific exercises (schroth best practice). Schroth best pratice is a pattern spesific scoliosis rehabilitation concept which aimes active self correction during curve pattern specific curve activities of daily life. Exercises for rotational breathing, everyday activities, spinal mobilization and corrective exercises will be specified based on the curve type and applied under the supervision of a physiotherapist.

Control group

Due to there is not a standard preoperative exercise protocol, additional exercise program will not be applied in control group. The patients will wait for the surgery in their routine daily life. Measurements will be performed at the same time frame in experimental group.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
