Summary

Scoliosis surgery is a major surgery associated with postoperative pain, loss of physical function and pulmonary dysfunction in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients (AIS).Despite the advanced, various medical treatment methods of pain applied in the postoperative period, the mean period of hospitalization is 5 to 7 days. The increasing health expenditures over the years have brought along the need for rehabilitation programs conducted in the early term. Although early mobilization has been accepted as a rule of thumb by spinal surgeons in preventing the performance loss and reducing the causes of morbidity in recent years, the investigators could not find any research on postoperative rehabilitation implemented on patients under the supervision of a physiotherapist, following scoliosis surgery. The aim of this study was to compare effect of five days of intensive postoperative rehabilitation and mobilization on length of hospitalization and outcome in patients having scoliosis surgery.
