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 assess how physiotherapy based on the Rigo Concept, combined with WBV, affects sagittal spinal curvatures, the angle of trunk rotation (ATR), and trunk symmetry in girls with AIS.

Participants undergo a 5-day individualized physiotherapy program. The exercises follow the four general principles of the Rigo Concept: three-dimensional postural correction, expansion technique, muscle activation, and integration. Therapy is delivered for 3 hours per day, with three 15-minute breaks. Additionally, participants in the Rigo Concept with WBV group perform exercises in a standing position using two poles while exposed to WBV on a Galileo Med 35 platform (Novotec Medical GmbH, Pforzheim, Germany) at a frequency of 25 Hz, with a peak-to-peak displacement of 2 mm. Each session includes three 3-minute bouts of vibration, with 3-minute rests between them. During WBV, participants perform exercises according to the principles of the Rigo Concept.

Study Groups

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

Rigo Concept group

Physiotherapy/exercieses according to the Rigo Concept, 5 days, 3 hour per day

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Rigo Concept group

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

5-day physiotherapy based on the Rigo Concept. It has four general principles of correction such as three-dimensional stable postural correction, expansion technique, muscle activation, and integration. Intervention last for 3 hours per day.

Rigo Concept with whole-body vibration group

Physiotherapy/exercises according to the Rigo Concept combined with whole-body vibration, 5 days, 3 hour per day, supplemented with 3 x 3 minutes of WBV, frequency 25 Hz, amplitude 2 mm

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Rigo Concept with whole-body vibration group

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The same like in the Rigo Concept groupa and additionally in standing position with two poles from Rigo Concept they will be exposed to WBV on a Galileo Med25 platform. WBV will administer in 3 x 3-minute sessions per day at a frequency of 25 Hz and an amplitude of 2 mm.
