Summary

This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help teenagers recover balance and posture after surgery for scoliosis, a condition that curves the spine. Participants who had spinal fusion surgery will either join an 8-week supervised exercise program or receive usual care. Researchers will measure balance and how weight is distributed on the feet before and after the program to see if exercise makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Exercise-based rehabilitation program
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could become a standard part of recovery after scoliosis surgery, helping teens regain better balance and posture.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 42 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program may not produce significant improvements over usual care.
