Brief Summary

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

Background: In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of regular Schroth exercises on pulmonary functions in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients who use rigid braces and perform Schroth exercises regularly.

Objective: The main purpose of this study, is to investigate the effects of Schroth exercises on pulmonary functions in adolescents who use rigid braces and perform Schroth exercises regularly.

Methods: Twenty-four patients with AIS were included in the study. The patients who wore rigid braces and performed the SSE therapy constituted the "Brace\&Exercise" (N=12), and the patients who wore full-time rigid braces but did not perform exercise constituted the "Brace Group" (N=12) of the study. The effects of Schroth exercises on pulmonary functions were measured at the beginning of treatment and the 8th week of the treatment.

Keywords: Adolescent, idiopathic scoliosis, conservative treatment, brace, respiratory function, Schroth exercises.

Study Groups

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

"Brace&Exercise Group"

The patients who were the rigid brace and performed the SSE therapy in the specified constituted the Brace \& Exercise. Experimental group patients wore full-time rigid brace and Schroth exercises for 60 minutes 5 days a week by the physician.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Brace and Exercise Treatment

Intervention Type OTHER

Schroth exercises, which are a specific exercise method for scoliosis, were given to the experimental group for 8 weeks, different from the control group.

"Brace Group"

The patients who wore full-time rigid braces but did not perform exercise constituted the Brace group. Comparator group patients wore full-time brace only, did not perform Schroth exercises.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Brace Treatment

Intervention Type OTHER

Among the patients included in the study, those who wore braces but did not agree to exercise constituted the ''Brace Group'' of the study.
