Filter by:Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients have been found to exhibit cortical asymmetry. This study aimed to examine the impact of conservative treatments on perceptual and cognitive asymmetry in the auditory system assessed by dichotic listening in AIS patients with thoracic major curves.
Idiopathic scoliosis is a spinal deformity that occurs in adolescent girls and boys and is more progressive in girls. The cosmetic changes caused by the scoliotic spine cause negativity in perception of appearance and psychosocial problems in pubertal individuals, especially in girls. It is thought that brace used in conservative treatment increase this negativity in body image and affect compliance with treatment. In this study, it was aimed to determine whether there is an effect on the individual's compliance with the programmed treatment by investigating the perception of body appearance, self-esteem and quality of life of adolescent girls with idiopathic scoliosis. In this context, forty adolescent girls diagnosed with "idiopathic scoliosis" and followed in the "Formed Healthcare Scoliosis Unit" were included in the study. In the study, Walter Reed Visual Evaluation Scale was used to evaluate perception of appearance, Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory to evaluate self-esteem, and SRS-22 Scoliosis Patient Questionnaire to evaluate quality of life. Scoliosis Treatment Compliance Scale, which was developed by us and whose validity and reliability study was planned, was used to evaluate compliance with the treatment program.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of virtual reality games (VRG) on changing the location of the center of gravity in children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Twenty-four patients with AIS will be randomly allocated to two groups. The intervention group will apply to the virtual reality games and basic correction exercises group for six weeks (18 sessions). The control group will be given the basic correction exercises. Patients' center of gravity (Physiosoft Balance System), posture parameters (PostureScreen Mobile, Posterior Trunk Asymmetry Index (POTSI) and Anterior Trunk Asymmetry Index (ATSI)), cosmetic perception (Walter Reed Visual Evaluation Scale (WRVAS)) will assess at the first session and the end of 6 weeks.
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the trunk and spine of unknown cause seen in adolescents. There are various conservative treatment methods to treat scoliosis. Manual therapy and exercises are a few of these treatments. There are studies showing that manual therapy reduces the severity of curvature, increases range of motion, modulates tissue/muscle extensibility, improves soft tissue movement limitation, relieves pain, and increases psychological well-being in scoliosis patients. In order to treat scoliosis, there are various exercise applications that are applied specifically to scoliosis, from physiotherapy applications. Core stabilization is one of the exercise methods that aim to keep the spine in the center. Virtual reality, on the other hand, is a three-dimensional simulation model that gives its participants the feeling of reality and allows mutual communication with a dynamic environment created by computers. Virtual reality is a method that provides the opportunity to work with task-based techniques by creating stimulating and entertaining environments, using people's interests and motivations. In a study, it was stated that two of the scoliosis-specific exercises were done through video-assisted games, but they stated that there was no difference because the number of exercises was low. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to apply core stabilization exercises to scoliosis patients with virtual reality application and to investigate their effects on recovery in patients. In addition, it is planned to investigate whether the severity of the curvature in patients decreases further and whether it has an effect on other healing parameters by using the virtual reality treatment application together with manual treatment.
The goal of this clinical trial] is to explore the clinical effect of laser acupuncture combined with Schroth training on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) . The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - The effects of Schroth exercises on Cobb angles, angle of trunk rotation, spinal mobility, gait parameters and clinical efficacy in patients with AIS. - Laser acupuncture combined with Schroth method on Cobb angles, angle of trunk rotation, spinal mobility, gait parameters and clinical efficacy in patients with AIS. Participants will received Schroth exercise therapy and laser acupuncture therapy (MLS laser). If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare received Schroth exercise therapy to see the effects of Schroth exercises and laser acupuncture combined with Schroth method on Cobb angles, angle of trunk rotation, spinal mobility, gait parameters and clinical efficacy in patients with AIS
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect that corrective surgery for scoliosis would have on pulmonary function as well as the circumference of the chest. As a result, the current investigation was carried out on thirty individuals who had idiopathic scoliosis and had been admitted to the hospital. Before the surgery, after it had been completed (on the fifth day), and again three months later, the pulmonary function was tested.
In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of spinal mobilization techniques applied in addition to core stabilization exercises in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients. Consecutive adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis, aged 10 to 16 years, without a brace, and with a Cobb curvature of 10 to 25 degrees were randomly divided into two groups using the closed envelope method: Spinal mobilization and core stabilization exercise were applied to the experimental group; Only core stabilization exercises were applied to the control group. Both groups received interventions twice a week for 10 weeks. Outcome measurements were made before treatment and after 10 weeks of treatment.
Introduction: Truncal shift caused by scoliosis can be measured with a Formetric Scanner using the Maximal Thoracic Apical Deviation (MTAD) measurement. It is a well-documented complaint with regards to body-image in patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS). Furthermore, thoracic apical deviation is an important measure in pre-operative assessment and post-operative outcomes. Objective: The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to determine the long-term effects of an intensive course of Physiotherapy Scoliosis Specific Exercise (PSSE) on MTAD in patients with IS. Methods: Consecutive IS patients with a single right-sided thoracic curvature who completed an intensive 4-week course of PSSE were recruited. Data was collected between April 2019 and December 2021. All patients were routinely scanned using a Formetric Scanner pre-, immediately post-, 12- and 24-months post-treatment. MTAD, measured in millimetres, was documented. Adults (>17 years old) (group 1) and children (group 2) were analysed separately.
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.
This study intends to investigate the effect of bracing on respiratory function in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). In particular, it will look at the effect of the brace on respiratory function and 3D volume of the thoracic cage. An additional evaluation of the pressure forces of the brace, using a connected t-shirt, will be carried out. The investigators hypothesise that the brace will decrease the respiratory parameters and 3D volume of the thoracic cage, especially during deep breathing.
