Summary

İdiopathic scoliosis is a three dimensional deformity with lateral deviation and rotation of the spine. In idiopathic scoliosis, scoliosis-specific exercises are utilized as a primary treatment for moderate curves and as a supportive measure alongside bracing for more severe curves. SEAS, which stands for Scientific Exercises Approach to Scoliosis, refers to a treatment approach developed as a scientific exercise methodology for scoliosis. This approach aims to provide scoliosis-specific exercises and techniques to manage and potentially improve the condition. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of SEAS as a conservative treatment approach for mild AIS.

Interventions

OTHER

SEAS training

Patients who opted to participate in the SEAS group underwent SEAS therapy. The SEAS therapy program initially comrised patient education and active self-correction. Subsequently, stabilization of active self correction was tried to be performed through various functional activities. These activities were selected from everyday life examples, with increasing levels of difficulty over time. With SEAS exercises, the activation of self-correction was aimed to be increased through various activities in sitting, standing and walking conditions, with the goal of correcting scoliosis in this way

OTHER

Standard Care

Patients who declined or were unable to participate in outpatient exercise programs received standard care. Standard care included exercises for postural re-education, traditional strengthening and stretching exercises for one session, followed by observation for one year.
