Summary

This study tests whether a smartphone app that uses artificial intelligence can help teens with scoliosis do better exercises than traditional physical therapy. The app analyzes posture and creates a personalized workout plan. Researchers will compare spine curve changes and how often teens do their exercises over 6 months in 300 participants aged 10-18.
