Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Following examination, participants will perform three exercises that activate back muscles in three different positions: supine lying, side lying and standing. Each exercise will be performed twice: the first time without and the second time with specific corrections of the scoliosis. The exercises will be performed according to "Schroth" method implying that the corrections of the spine will be determined according to the scoliosis pattern and classification for the scoliosis (single / double, thoracic, lumbar etc.) and will be conducted via belts, cushions, and bars.
During each exercise, back muscles thickness will be examined and measured via portable diagnostic ultrasound. The muscles will be measured at T7 and L4 levels in resting and contracting positions. Back muscle function will be evaluated by calculating percentage of change between positions rest and contraction position.
Comparison between muscle function with and without correction and correlation of muscle function to quality of life and other morphological parameters will be assessed.
