Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Scoliosis-specific corrective exercises, including approaches such as Schroth and The Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis, have been shown to improve postural symmetry, slow curve progression, and enhance respiratory and psychosocial outcomes. However, the effects of these exercises on physical fitness parameters-such as muscle strength, flexibility, motor performance, and cardiorespiratory endurance-remain insufficiently studied.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of scoliosis-specific corrective exercises on physical fitness parameters in adolescents diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Measures of strength, flexibility, motor performance, and cardiorespiratory endurance will be assessed before and after the intervention. Findings from this study are expected to contribute to the development of evidence-based conservative treatment protocols focusing not only on curve progression but also on functional capacity and overall fitness in adolescents with scoliosis.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Scoliosis-Specific Corrective Exercise Group
Participants in this group will receive an individualized scoliosis-specific corrective exercise program based on the Schroth classification. The program focuses on three-dimensional spinal correction and stabilization. Each participant will attend supervised sessions delivered by a Schroth-certified physiotherapist for 45-60 minutes, twice per week, for a total of 16 sessions over 8 weeks. Home exercises will also be prescribed and monitored for adherence.
Scoliosis-Specific Corrective Exercise Program
An individualized scoliosis-specific corrective exercise program based on the Schroth method, delivered by a certified physiotherapist twice per week for 8 weeks.
Postural Education Control Group
Postural education and basic corrective exercise elements performed at home 2 times per week for 8 weeks.
Postural Education and Basic Corrective Exercises
Postural education and basic corrective exercise elements to be performed at home twice per week for 8 weeks.
