Summary

Background: In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of regular Schroth exercises on pulmonary functions in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients who use rigid braces and perform Schroth exercises regularly. Objective: The main purpose of this study, is to investigate the effects of Schroth exercises on pulmonary functions in adolescents who use rigid braces and perform Schroth exercises regularly. Methods: Twenty-four patients with AIS were included in the study. The patients who wore rigid braces and performed the SSE therapy constituted the "Brace\&Exercise" (N=12), and the patients who wore full-time rigid braces but did not perform exercise constituted the "Brace Group" (N=12) of the study. The effects of Schroth exercises on pulmonary functions were measured at the beginning of treatment and the 8th week of the treatment. Keywords: Adolescent, idiopathic scoliosis, conservative treatment, brace, respiratory function, Schroth exercises.
