Summary

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity that affects postural alignment, function, and quality of life. Telerehabilitation has emerged as a promising approach to enhance accessibility and continuity of exercise-based treatment in AIS. This study aimed to compare the effects of telerehabilitation-supported home exercise programs with standard home exercises on posture, pain, body image, and quality of life in adolescents with mild AIS.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

home exercise

Self Scoliosis exercises. home exercises were shown to the control group and a form containing explanations and pictures of the exercises was shared with the patient in printed form. They are very common well known posture exercises including postural correction, strengthening and core stabilization. Participants were asked to apply the exercises at least three times a week and to record the day and duration of each exercise session in. an exercise diary. The researcher physiotherapist called these participants every two weeks to follow their compliance with the exercise program. At the end of the eight-week application period, the participants were invited back to the clinic and re-evaluated with the same evaluation methods.

PROCEDURE

telerehabilitation

Patient specific exercises with supervised telerehabilitation. Participants included in the study program group also had the same home exercise program given in the hospital. The exercises were same with the other group. In addition to these home exercises, the exercises were done online under the guidance of a physiotherapist once a week. An appointment was made for the first telerehabilitation session for the patients in the study group after the evaluation and the same exercise form was shared with this group.
