Summary

Studies with exercise intervention aimed to improve the bone health and muscle functions in patients with AIS were lacking. Evidence suggested that low bone mass and low muscle mass were associated with curve severity and occurrence of AIS. Weight-bearing exercise that aimed to improve musculoskeletal and metabolic health could enhance bone health and muscle mass, and could provide a feasible alternative conservative treatment to prevent curve progression as well as the quality of life in AIS girls. This is a pilot feasibility study for future large randomized controlled trial (RCT) aiming at determining the effects of home based exercise program on improving bone mineral density (BMD), muscle mass and functions, quality of life (QoL), and prevent curve progression in skeletally immature girls with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
