This study looked at whether adding arm and leg strength exercises to standard scoliosis exercises helps teens with mild scoliosis. Twenty-four adolescents aged 12–18 with a spinal curve between 10 and 25 degrees took part. Researchers measured muscle thickness, flexibility, and …

This study tested whether a combination of two types of exercises (PNF and spiral muscle chain training) could improve posture, spine flexibility, and back muscle strength in teenagers with spinal curvature problems like scoliosis. 189 teens aged 13-18 did supervised exercises th…

This study looked at whether adding dynamic neuromuscular stabilization breathing exercises to standard Schroth exercises helps teenagers with scoliosis. 26 teens aged 10-18 with mild to moderate curves took part. Researchers measured spine curvature, breathing strength, pain, an…

This study looked at whether playing virtual reality games can help teenagers recover after surgery for scoliosis (a curved spine). 28 teens who had spinal fusion surgery took part. One group did VR exercises for 6 weeks, while the other did standard physical therapy. The goal wa…

This study looked at 78 teens with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis to see if the size of their spinal curve (measured by Cobb angle) affects how much pain they feel and how they see their body. Participants were grouped by curve severity (mild, moderate, moderate-to-severe) and a…

This study created a detailed registry to track how braces are used for scoliosis in children and teens. Researchers collected information from 280 participants to understand what works best and to develop better treatment guidelines. The goal is to reduce the need for surgery by…

This study looked at whether a mobile app can measure spine curves in teenage girls with scoliosis as accurately as standard X-rays. Thirty girls aged 14-17 with moderate scoliosis had their posture checked with the app and a spinal X-ray. The goal was to see if the app could off…
