Summary

Pectus excavatum (PE); It is an anterior chest wall deformity, characterized by varying degrees of depression of the sternum and costal cartilage, usually occurring at birth or in the first year of life. In the treatment of non-severe PE; vacuum bell orthosis and physiotherapy (especially exercise) is recommended as an alternative to surgery. Although there is no literature or consensus about the role of physiotherapy, it is believed that it plays an important role in preventing or correcting deformities and creating a good cosmetic appearance. Therefore, in this study, the investigators aimed to investigate the effectiveness of exercise therapy in addition to vacuum bell therapy.
