Clinical Trial Summary

In North America, children and adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) are rarely referred for a rehabilitation program whereas the European guidelines stated that scientific evidences concerning scoliosis specific physiotherapy exercises were strong enough to recommend the use of these exercises at an early stage. The objectives of this pilot study is to assess feasibility of conducting a larger randomized control trial (RCT) on the effect of global postural re-education (GPR) on scoliosis progression (Cobb angle) and posture, back pain and participation and to assess the equivalence of two groups of GPR interventions. A convenience sample of 60 adolescents with IS (Cobb angle 15º-50º, Risser sign ≤3) will be recruited at CHU Sainte-Justine. Participants will be randomly allocated to GPR-A (individual sessions once a week) or GPR-B (individual sessions once per two weeks alternately with class exercises once per two weeks) for 6 months. After 6 months, groups will be interchanged for another 6 months. Feasibility outcomes will be recruitment rate, consent rate, completion rate and adherence to treatment at 12 months. The primary outcome of the effect of GPR will be the Cobb angle. Secondary outcomes will be: posture, back pain and participation at 6 and 12 months. Statistical analyses: For feasibility, percentage of eligible patients recruited, percentage of recruited patients who completed the trial and adherence to treatment will be calculated. For the preliminary effects of GPR, linear mixed-models will be used to assess differences in groups' changes from baseline, to 6 and 12-month while adjusting for covariates (age, Risser, adherence). Separate analyses will be conducted for each outcome.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Recruitment rate Percentage of eligible patients recruited: 70% of participants recruited indicate good recruitment rate 12 months
Other Completion rate Percentage of recruited participants who completed the trial: 75% of completion indicate good completion rate 12 months
Other Adherence (compliance) with GPR treatment in terms of collaboration, presence and implication in home exercises Adherence with GPR treatment will be measured by the physiotherapists using the validated 3-item Sport Injury Rehabilitation Adherence Scale (SIRAS, were total score varies from 3 (low adherence) to 15 (high adherence)). We will also compute presence/absence to therapy and we will use a patient/parent logbook for home exercises. Good adherence (compliance) to treatment will be achieved if a participant has a score of at least 12 out of 15 on the SIRAS 80 % of the treatment sessions, is present to therapy 80% of the sessions and completes home exercises 80% of the time. 12 months
Primary Change in Cobb angle Change in the frontal radiologic measure of scoliosis: a decrease in Cobb angle by more than 5 degrees indicate improvement 6 and 12 months
Secondary Posture: shoulder elevation Clinical Photographic Postural Assessment Tool: The angle formed between a line drawn between the left and right coracoid process markers, and the horizontal: a decrease of this angle indicate improvement 6 and 12 months
Secondary Posture: right waist angle Clinical Photographic Postural Assessment Tool: The angle formed by lines drawn from the upper end of the waist to the center of the waist, and from the cent Clinical Photographic Postural Assessment Tool: The angle formed by lines drawn from the upper end of the waist to the center of the waist, and from the center of the waist to the lower end of the waist on the right side: more symmetry with the left side indicate improvement 6 and 12 months
Secondary Posture: left waist angle Clinical Photographic Postural Assessment Tool: The angle formed by lines drawn from the upper end of the waist to the center of the waist, and from the cent Clinical Photographic Postural Assessment Tool: The angle formed by lines drawn from the upper end of the waist to the center of the waist, and from the center of the waist to the lower end of the waist on the left side: more symmetry with the right side indicate improvement 6 and 12 months
Secondary Posture: thoracic scoliosis Clinical Photographic Postural Assessment Tool: The angle formed by lines drawn from the upper end-vertebra to the apex of the thoracic scoliosis curve and from the apex to the lower end-vertebra of the curve: decrease of this angle indicate improvement 6 and 12 months
Secondary Posture: lumbar scoliosis Clinical Photographic Postural Assessment Tool: The angle formed by lines drawn from the upper end-vertebra to the apex of the thoracolumbar or lumbar scoliosis curve, and from the apex to the lower end-vertebra of the curve: decrease of this angle indicate improvement 6 and 12 months
Secondary Posture: frontal trunk list Clinical Photographic Postural Assessment Tool: The horizontal distance between C7 and a vertical line drawn from S1: decrease of this measure in millimeter indicate improvement 6 and 12 months
Secondary Posture: frontal pelvic tilt Clinical Photographic Postural Assessment Tool: The angle formed between the line joining the two anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the horizontal: decrease of this angle indicate improvement 6 and 12 months
Secondary Posture: right sagittal pelvic tilt Clinical Photographic Postural Assessment Tool: The angle formed between the horizontal and the line joining the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) and ASIS on the right side: an angle between 20 and 30 degrees indicate a normal value and a better symmetry between right and left side indicate improvement 6 and 12 months
Secondary Posture: left sagittal pelvic tilt Clinical Photographic Postural Assessment Tool: The angle formed between the horizontal and the line joining the PSIS and ASIS on the left side: an angle between 20 and 30 degrees indicate a normal value and a better symmetry between right and left side indicate improvement 6 and 12 months
Secondary Posture: scapula asymmetry Clinical Photographic Postural Assessment Tool: The angle formed by a line drawn from the left and right inferior angles of the scapula and the horizontal: decrease of this angle indicate improvement 6 and 12 months
Secondary Change in back pain Change in the intensity (score) of back pain on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale score (0 no pain to 10 very important pain), lower value indicate improvement. 6 and 12 months

Higher value indicate improvement (better participation). 12 months
