Summary

This study aims to explore the effects of augmented reality (AR)-supported physiotherapy on body awareness, motivation, and exercise adherence in adolescents diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the study will involve semi-structured interviews with adolescents who have completed at least four weeks of AR-based physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises. The goal is to understand participants' lived experiences with AR-enhanced rehabilitation and to inform the development of adolescent-centered, technology-integrated physiotherapy strategies in conservative scoliosis care.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

AR-Supported Scoliosis-Specific Physiotherapy

This intervention consists of scoliosis-specific physiotherapy supported by AR technology. Participants will engage in postural correction exercises delivered by licensed physiotherapists using an AR system that provides real-time avatar feedback, movement guidance, and gamified motivation. The intervention aims to improve body awareness, adherence, and motivation among adolescents diagnosed with AIS. Each participant will complete at least four weeks of structured AR-supported sessions.
