Brief Summary

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

The study population comprised patients with AIS who had applied to the outpatient clinic between January and June 2022. The patients were divided into two groups. Treatment group(TG) was instructed in specific scoliosis exercises, while the Control group(CG) was given exercises for the lower extremities. Each patient was included in a 12- week exercise program accompanied by a physiotherapist. The patients' quality of life, and paravertebral muscles were evaluated ultrasonographically before and after treatment.

Study Groups

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

Treatment Group

The treatment group (TG) was given exercises for the thoracic and lumbar regions for scoliosis.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients were expected to attend treatment under the supervision of a physiotherapist. If they missed a day, they were contacted by phone and advised to do their exercises at home. The number of days they missed did not exceed five. Each set included a 30-second rest period to prevent fatigue. A five-minute warm-up and cool-down period was allotted before and after the exercise session. The exercise program was implemented by a physiotherapist with three years of experience in scoliosis management. Before initiating the intervention, the physiotherapist underwent a structured training session, including practical demonstrations, supervised practice, and detailed exercise protocols.

Control Group

The control group (CG) was instructed to perform gluteus maximus, hamstring, and quadriceps strengthening exercises.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Exercise for Lower Extremities

Intervention Type OTHER

The control group (CG) was instructed to perform gluteus maximus, hamstring, and quadriceps strengthening exercises.
