First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether playing active video games can help teenagers regain balance and posture better than standard exercises after scoliosis surgery. About 51 teens who had spinal fusion will be split into three groups: video game training, standard stabilization exercises, or usual care. The program lasts 12 weeks, and researchers will check balance, pain, strength, and quality of life over 6 months.
