Summary

To evaluate the efficacy of core stability (CS) exercises on curve magnitude, posture, trunk deformity and quality of life in adolescent females with idiopathic scoliosis.

Conditions

  • Idiopathic Scoliosis

Interventions

OTHER

Traditional treatment

Traditional exercises for scoliosis include breathing exercises, posture training, spinal flexibility exercises, stretching exercises for the involved muscles (especially for the concave side of the curve), and general strengthening exercises for the main muscle groups of trunk, pelvis, and shoulder girdle muscles (especially for the convex side of the curve).

OTHER

Core stability exercises

The CS training program includes local muscle stability training (transverses abdominis, multifidus, and diaphragm), global muscle stability training (oblique abdominal muscles, psoas major, quadratus lumborum, and pelvic floor muscles), global muscle mobility training (rectus abdominis, back extensors, and hamstring muscles), and strength training of the core muscles through the thoracolumbar fascia by maintaining the neutral spine position. Diaphragmatic breathing technique will be used during exercises.
