Summary

Aim: It was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of three-dimensional scoliosis exercises and balance-coordination exercises in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Detailed description

Method: Thirty patients who were diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were randomly divided into three groups. The first group was treated with 3-dimensional scoliosis exercise program according to Schroth method, second group was treated with Schroth exercises and balance-coordination exercises in addition to brace. Exercises were performed for a total of 6 weeks (18 sessions). The third group was treated only with brace and the control group consisted of healthy individuals. Patients were assessed for their curve angle (Cobb method), rotation angle (scoliometer), spinal flexibility (anterior and lateral bending tests), quality of life (Scoliosis Research Society-22), cosmetic effects (Walter Reed Visual Rating Scale), balance parameters (Balance Master System NeuroCom International Inc. Clackamas, OR, USA ver 8.1), vertical perception (Subjective Vertical Detection test) and brain responses (electroencephalography) were assessed before and after treatment. SPSS 20.0 statistical program was used for data analysis of the study.
