Summary

This study follows 140 female dancers aged 11-16 who have scoliosis (a curved spine) and dance at least three times a week. Researchers will check their muscles, bones, flexibility, and spine every six months for three years. Some dancers will also do a special core-strengthening exercise program to see if it helps. The goal is to understand how puberty affects their bodies and whether exercise can make 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
exercise program for strengthening core muscles
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that targeted core exercises help manage scoliosis in young dancers during puberty.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study with no control group, so results may not prove cause and effect. The exercise program may not benefit all participants.
