Summary

This study tested whether adding telerehabilitation (remote coaching) to home exercises helps teens with mild scoliosis more than standard home exercises alone. Twenty-nine adolescents aged 10-18 with mild curves participated. Researchers measured posture, pain, body image, and quality of life to see if the extra support made 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
home exercise program with telerehabilitation support
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could show that remote coaching makes home exercises more effective for improving posture and quality of life in teens with mild scoliosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 29 participants, so results may not apply to all teens with scoliosis. The exercises are well-known and not a new treatment.
