Summary

The study population comprised patients with AIS who had applied to the outpatient clinic between January and June 2022. The patients were divided into two groups. Treatment group(TG) was instructed in specific scoliosis exercises, while the Control group(CG) was given exercises for the lower extremities. Each patient was included in a 12- week exercise program accompanied by a physiotherapist. The patients' quality of life, and paravertebral muscles were evaluated ultrasonographically before and after treatment.

Conditions

  • Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Interventions

OTHER

Exercise

Patients were expected to attend treatment under the supervision of a physiotherapist. If they missed a day, they were contacted by phone and advised to do their exercises at home. The number of days they missed did not exceed five. Each set included a 30-second rest period to prevent fatigue. A five-minute warm-up and cool-down period was allotted before and after the exercise session. The exercise program was implemented by a physiotherapist with three years of experience in scoliosis management. Before initiating the intervention, the physiotherapist underwent a structured training session, including practical demonstrations, supervised practice, and detailed exercise protocols.

OTHER

Exercise for Lower Extremities

The control group (CG) was instructed to perform gluteus maximus, hamstring, and quadriceps strengthening exercises.
