Summary

Trunk rotation and distortion of the rib cage, which are common in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, result in abnormal configuration of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. This reduces the capacity of the respiratory muscles to produce force, and results in respiratory muscle weakness. The diaphragm, which is the major respiratory muscle, is also a component of the core muscles responsible for postural stability. Therefore, diaphragm muscle weakness results in deterioration of postural stability. Our aim in this study is to investigate the effect of inspiratory muscle training added to the routine scoliosis exercise program on postural stability and posture perception.

Conditions

• Adolescent Scoliosis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Conventional Scoliosis Exercise Program	Program will include breathing exercises, spinal stabilization and strengthening exercises, posture exercises and stretching execises.
OTHER	Inspiratory Muscle Training	Threshold IMT device will be used for the training. Training intensity will set at 30% of the maximum inspiratory pressure.
