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 Schroth exercises and kinesiological taping on spinal deformities and serum markers in young adults with scoliosis. The study will include young adults aged 18-21 with scoliosis. A total of 57 participants will be included in the study. Out of 57 participants, 38 have scoliosis, and 19 are healthy. 38 participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups. One group (n=19) will receive only Schroth exercises, and the other group (n=19) will receive both Schroth exercises and kinesiological taping. The laboratory analyses of proteins associated with autophagy (Beclin-1, LC3, and ATG3) and bone-cartilage metabolism (COMP and MMP-3) will be conducted in the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory of our university. Trunk rotation will be assessed using the Adams Forward Bend Test with scoliometer, quality of life will be evaluated with the SRS-22 Quality of Life questionnaire and Quality of life profile for spinal deformities questionnaire, perception of deformity will be measured using the Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale, and Cobb angles will be evaluated from anterior-posterior X-ray images.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Schroth exercises and kinesiological taping on spinal deformities and serum markers in young adults with scoliosis. The study will include young adults aged 18-21 with scoliosis. A total of 57 participants will be included in the study. Out of 57 participants, 38 have scoliosis, and 19 are healthy. 38 participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups. One group (n=19) will receive only Schroth exercises, and the other group (n=19) will receive both Schroth exercises and kinesiological taping. The laboratory analyses of proteins associated with autophagy (Beclin-1, LC3, and ATG3) and bone-cartilage metabolism (COMP and MMP-3) will be conducted in the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory of our university. Schroth exercises will be administered to both groups twice a week for 12 weeks. Kinesiological taping will be applied twice a week to the group receiving both Schroth exercises and kinesiological taping. Pre-treatment evaluations will include assessments of Cobb angles, trunk rotation, serum markers, quality of life and perception of deformity. Post treatment evaluations will include assessments of trunk rotation, cobb angles, serum markers, quality of life and perception of deformity.

Study Groups

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

Exercise group

For 12 weeks, participants will receive rotational breathing, correction techniques, positioning, mobilization, and three-dimensional exercises specific to their curvature twice a week.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Just Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Schroth exercises are including rotational breathing, correction techniques, positioning, mobilization, and three-dimensional exercises specific to their curvature.

Exercise and taping group

For 12 weeks, participants will schroth exercises including receive rotational breathing, correction techniques, positioning, mobilization and three dimensional exercises specific to their curvature and kinesiological taping. Kinesiological taping will be applied as a tone enhancer or tone reducer according to the concave and convex sides of the curve.
