Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to see the effect of pilates-based exercise training applied with hybrid telerehabilitation method on Cobb angle, trunk rotation angle (ATR), respiratory functions, respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity in children with AIS between the ages of 10-18 and home-based pilates exercise. compare its effectiveness with respect to its training. Investigators of this study think that synchronous telerehabilitation sessions added to home-based pilates exercise training in children with AIS with moderate and moderate-to-severe curves can have positive effects on the evaluation parameters examined, and the results of this study can guide the relevant physiotherapists and health professionals by adding a new perspective to the literature.


Description:

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is defined as a deformity characterized by abnormal spinal curve formation and rotation of the vertebrae in the coronal plane in a healthy individual aged 10 years and older, without any known cause.This study aimed to investigate the effect of pilates-based exercise training applied with hybrid telerehabilitation method on Cobb angle, respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity in patients with AIS, including postural corrections and breathing pattern determined by curve type-localization. Within the scope of the study, 32 patients diagnosed with AIS, aged 10-18 years, were randomized and divided into education and control groups. Cobb angle measurement, trunk rotation angle measurement, respiratory function test, respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity were evaluated in all patients. Training and control groups participated in supervised sessions once a week during the first 2 weeks of exercise training processes. During these sessions, the patients were informed about the basics of pilates, the postural corrections determined according to the curve type and localization, and the respiratory principles. For the next 10 weeks, the training group took synchronous online sessions with a physiotherapist 3 days a week, and the exercises were continued at home for 4 days. The control group, on the other hand, continued the same exercises 7 days a week, home-based for 10 weeks. At the end of 12 weeks, all assessments were repeated.

Intervention

Other:
Exercise
Sessions are consisted of scoliosis-specific pilates-based exercises.The exercises were kept constant in total content, but the bilateral or unilateral application directions, the number of repetitions for the right and left sides, and the extremities used were modified for each patient according to the localization of the major curve and the type of the curve. The taught postural corrections were requested to be maintained during all exercises. Exercises for flexibility were performed asymmetrically or symmetrically according to the chosen exercise, extremities were chosen according to the curve type, with 5 repetitions and 30 seconds for each repetition. Exercises aimed at strengthening were performed for a total of 12 repetitions, during a 5-second contraction, by arranging the number of repetitions for the right and left in line with the target muscles, again considering the curve type, and the patients were asked to rest between the exercises.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Cobb angle When measuring the Cobb angle, the tangent lines on the radiological film are drawn from the superior end plate of the superior vertebra participating in the curvature and the inferior endplate of the lowest vertebra participating in the curvature. The angle formed at the intersection of these two lines is the Cobb angle. The evaluation was performed by the same physician before and after the treatment. 12 weeks
Primary Pulmonary function Spirometry device was used in the evaluation of lung functions and measurements were carried out in accordance with ATS/ERS criteria. Before the test, the weight, height, age and gender values of the patients were recorded on the spirometer device. All of the measurements were made in the sitting position with the feet in full contact with the ground. A nose clip was used. At the beginning of the test, inspiration and expiration were requested at the tidal volume limits. Afterwards, rapid expiration was requested following the deepest possible inspiration. Care was taken to maintain the expiration time for 6 seconds without interruption. It was recorded by choosing the best of three tests that were 95% consistent with each other. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), Tiffeneau ratio (FEV1/FVC) and peak expiratory volume (PEF) values were measured and both measured values and percentages of expected values were recorded. 12 weeks
Primary Respiratory muscle strength Respiratory muscle strength was measured in accordance with ATS/ERS criteria using an electronic and portable intraoral pressure measuring device.All of the measurements were made in the sitting position with the feet in full contact with the ground. Nasal breathing was blocked with a nose clip. In order to measure the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximum expiratory maneuver was performed before the patient took the mouthpiece of the device into his mouth, and then maximal inspiration (Müller maneuver) was performed at maximum speed for 1-3 seconds. For maximum expiratory pressure measurement, the maximum inspiratory maneuver was performed before the mouthpiece of the device was taken into the mouth, and then maximal expiration (Valsalva maneuver) was performed at maximum speed for 1-3 seconds. 3 measurements were repeated for each evaluation and the highest value was recorded in "cmH2O". 12 weeks
Primary Functional capacity ISWT is a test consisting of 12 levels and each level lasts 1 minute.In ISWT the walking area was arranged to be 10 meters for each shuttle. By observing the signals heard between the two cones; patients walked very slowly at first, then at an increasing speed with 3 beeps at the end of each minute. The test was terminated in cases where the test could not be continued or if a signal was received when 0.5 m or more from the cones twice consecutively. In ESWT test, peak oxygen consumption was calculated and the value corresponding to 85% of the peak VO2 was placed on the graph and the velocity was found. After the first 2-minute warm-up period of the test, the patients were asked to walk with the determined speed. In cases where the test could not be continued, the test was terminated if the signal was received 0.5 m or more from the cones twice consecutively, and if the maximum test time of 20 minutes was reached. Walking time was recorded in seconds. 12 weeks
