Brief Summary

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

This study aims to compare the effects of suspension exercise therapy combined with conventional exercise therapy and conventional exercise therapy alone on pain, Cobb angle, functional impairment, and quality of life in adult patients with idiopathic scoliosis.

Study Groups

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

Conventional exercise therapy group

Conventional exercise therapy includes four exercises: the "little swallow flying" exercise, the hip bridge exercise, back muscle stretching, and relaxation. It is performed once a day, 45 minutes .

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional exercise therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Conventional exercise therapy includes four exercises: the "little swallow flying" exercise, the hip bridge exercise, back muscle stretching, and relaxation. It is performed once a day, 45 minutes .

Combined Intervention group

Suspension training and conventional exercise therapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Suspension training and conventional exercise therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Suspension training alternates with conventional exercise therapy. It is conducted every other day, 45 minutes each time, 2-3 times a week for four consecutive weeks. Elastic ropes for suspension training are chosen based on patients' body mass: single - strand for those with body mass ≤ 30 kg and double - strand for those with body mass \> 30 kg. Suspension slings are placed on the head, lower back, and pelvis, and non-elastic rope slings on the ankles. Lower the lifting bed so that the vertical distance from the ankles to the bed surface is about 25-30 cm.
