AR boosts scoliosis exercise adherence in teens

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 degrees were split into two groups: one did standard scoliosis exercises, and the other did the same exercises with AR guidance. The goal was to see if AR makes therapy more engaging and effective.
