ADOLESCENT IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS

This study tested whether using augmented reality (AR) during exercise helps teenagers with mild scoliosis (curved spine) feel more aware of their body, like their trunk appearance, and stick to their exercise routine. Thirty teens aged 10-18 with a spinal curve between 10 and 30…

This study tested whether Schroth exercises, a special type of physical therapy for scoliosis, can change brain structure and improve movement and body awareness in teenage girls. Fifty-four girls with mild scoliosis (curve up to 25 degrees) took part. The goal was to see if thes…

This study looked at how a special back brace (Chêneau orthosis) changes spine and leg alignment in 30 teens with scoliosis. Participants wore the brace at least 18 hours a day, and researchers measured their spine curves, leg angles, and quality of life over 6 months. The goal w…

This study looked at tiny molecules called microRNAs in the blood of 20 teens with scoliosis and 10 healthy teens. The goal was to find patterns that could help diagnose scoliosis earlier and more easily. If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test instead of relying on…

This study looked at whether using virtual reality (VR) can help teenagers feel less pain and use fewer painkillers after surgery for scoliosis, a curved spine. Twenty teens aged 13 to 18 took part. They used VR during physical therapy, and researchers measured their pain levels …

This study tested whether extra education and coping skills, delivered through a smartphone app, could help teens aged 11-18 manage pain and recover faster after scoliosis surgery. Forty participants were randomly assigned to receive either standard care or the app-based program …

This study looked at whether Schroth exercises, a special type of physical therapy, can help teenagers with mild to moderate scoliosis. Thirty teens aged 10-20 with a spine curve between 15-40 degrees took part. Researchers measured muscle strength, balance, breathing, and qualit…

This study looked at whether specific scoliosis exercises could improve back muscle thickness and quality of life in 70 teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. One group did scoliosis-specific exercises, while the other did leg exercises, both for 12 weeks with a physioth…
