Summary

This study investigates whether adding Pilates-based exercises to standard Schroth training improves lung capacity, trunk muscle strength, posture, and quality of life in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Participants, aged 10-18 with a spinal curve between 10 and 45 degrees, will be randomly assigned to either Schroth exercises alone or Schroth plus Pilates for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if the combined approach offers greater benefits for physical and psychosocial outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Pilates-based exercises added to Schroth training
What this could lead to
If effective, this combined exercise approach could offer a better non-surgical option to improve breathing, strength, and quality of life for teens with scoliosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to all. Exercise programs also depend heavily on adherence and proper technique.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 10-18 years. * Diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis by a physician. * Cobb angle between 10° and 45°. * Willingness of both the participant and their parent/legal guardian to participate in the study. * No additional rheumatologic, neurological, or orthopedic disorders. * No scoliosis-specific treatment received within the previous 6 months. Exclusion Criteria: * History of scoliosis or spinal surgery. * Scoliosis secondary to neurological, congenital, or other non-idiopathic causes. * Any contraindication to exercise. * A spinal curve with an apex at T12-L1. * Presence of cognitive impairment that would interfere with study participation or assessments. * Current brace treatment. Participants who are eligible for bracing but have not been prescribed a brace by their physician or who decline brace treatment despite being eligible will remain eligible for inclusion.
