Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of stabilization exercises integrated with Schroth exercises on quality of life, trunk rotation angle, body awareness and sleep quality in young people with scoliosis.

Detailed description

The study will include adolescents who come to Bursa Eforfiz Healthy Living Center for outpatient treatment. Participants will be selected from adolescents between the ages of 10-17. Participants will first read the voluntary consent form and if they agree to participate in the study, they will then be evaluated by a physiotherapist. First, the demographic information of the participants will be questioned and then the evaluation will be done in a single session. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups. These will be the control group and the exercise group. Both groups will perform the determined exercises for 8 weeks in a private clinic with a physiotherapist. Only scales, forms and surveys with Turkish reliability and validity studies will be used in the evaluation methods. The surveys will be uploaded to the digital environment and filled in with the physiotherapist according to the participant's answers. All collected data will be scored by the physiotherapist in accordance with the scoring systems and the obtained data will be evaluated using the SPSS program.

Conditions

• Scoliosis
• Adolescent Scoliosis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Schroth exercise	Exercises will be given in lying, sitting and standing positions. In each exercise, elongation of the spine will be ensured and the person will be positioned according to the type of scoliosis. Exercises will be given progressively in supine, prone, side sitting, sitting and standing positions. In each exercise, elongation of the spine will be ensured and the person will be positioned according to the upper and lower extremities. Progress in the exercises will be made positionally by increasing the number of repetitions and the number of rotational breathing during the exercise.
OTHER	Dynamic Stabilization exercises	The dynamic neuromuscular stabilization group will receive developmental postures based on developmental kinesiology. It will involve a supine 3month Position, side-lying Position, Quadruped, oblique sitting, bear position, squat Position. Each position will be performed for 30-60 s for five reps, active exercise 5-10 reps under supervision for two days/week, and unsupervised for 3 days/week for 12 weeks
