Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of technology-based exercises on treatment success in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.

Within the scope of the study, thirty patients with AIS will be randomly allocated to two groups. The control group will apply a program with conventional approaches consisting of a combination of structured three-dimensional scoliosis exercises, core stabilization and balance exercises. Patients in the intervention group will perform structured three-dimensional scoliosis exercises, core stabilization and balance exercises similarly to the control group. However, patients in the intervention group will perform core stabilization and balance exercises with virtual reality games for twenty-four weeks. Patients' Cobb angle, Pediatric Berg Balance Scale (balance), Posterior Trunk Asymmetry Index (POTSI) (cosmetic), Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale (WRVAS)(cosmetic), System Usability Scale (system usability) and Physical Activity Participation Motivation Scale (PAPMS) (motivation) parameters will be assess at the beginning of treatment, third and six month.

Conditions

  • Scoliosis; Adolescence

Interventions

OTHER

Conservative Approach

Structured scoliosis exercises will be prescribed by the physiotherapist according to the severity of the curvature and cosmetics of the individuals. In a one session period, 5-minute warm-up and cool-down periods, 20 minutes of scoliosis exercises, 10 minutes of core stabilization exercises and 10 minutes of balance training will be applied. The exercises will start from an easy level and the level of difficulty will be gradually increased. The assessments will be evaluated in three stages: at the beginning of treatment, at the third month of treatment and at the end of treatment (sixth month).

Rehabilitative Game Therapy

Structured scoliosis exercises will be prescribed by the physiotherapist according to the severity of the curvature and cosmetics of the patients and will be applied to the patients with a conventional approach. In a one-session period, 5-minute warm-up and cool-down periods, 20 minutes of scoliosis exercises, 10 minutes of core stabilization exercises, and 10 minutes of balance training will be applied in the clinical setting. Home exercises will be performing with the SmartPose system differently from the control group. The SmartPose system is a special software system that enables the user to perform movements with a tablet or phone without the need for any sensors.
