About this trial

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of core stabilization exercises versus traditional rehabilitation exercises in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Participants are assigned to one of two intervention groups: a core stabilization exercise program or a traditional rehabilitation program. The study evaluates the impact of both interventions on spinal stability, posture, and functional outcomes. The results of this study may help identify more effective rehabilitation approaches for managing adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Female adolescents aged 11-18 years

Diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis

Cobb's angle between 10° and 40°

Referred to physiotherapy

Disqualifiers

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Core stabilization Exercises program

    Behavioral

    A supervised core stabilization exercise program targeting deep and global trunk musculature including the transversus abdominis, multifidus, pelvic floor, diaphragm, rectus abdominis, erector spinae, and oblique muscles. The program was delivered three times per week for 12 weeks, with each session lasting 45 minutes. Exercises were progressively advanced from static to dynamic tasks according to participant tolerance and performance.

  • Traditional Rehabilitation exercises program

    Behavioral

    Conventional Rehabilitation exercises commonly used in clinical practice for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis

Treatment groups

60 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: core stabilization exercises groupExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Traditional Rehabilitation Exercise ProgramExperimental treatment 1 intervention

Change in Cobb's Angle

Cobb's angle measured using the DIERS Formetric 4D spinal analysis system in static mode

Time frame
Baseline and 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

Quality of Life (QoL)

The SRS-22 questionnaire consists of 22 items scored from 1 to 5, with total scores ranging from 1 (worst outcome) to 5 (best outcome). Higher scores indicate better quality of life.
