Clinical Trial Summary

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity with an unknown cause that affects adolescents aged 10 or older. A standing posterior-anterior radiograph with a Cobb angle greater than 10 degrees is used to make the diagnosis. Depending on the severity of the spinal deformity, conservative treatments and surgery are used to treat AIS. Patients whose spinal curvature is greater than 45 degrees are typically considered for surgery. The majority of patients with AIS receive conservative treatments to prevent and slow the progression of the curve. 2 Orthotic intervention (OI) and scoliosis-specific exercise (SSE) are commonly recommended by the International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment for patients with a curvature between 20 and 45 degrees. Self correction exercises are the group of spinal extension, lateral spinal flexion and rotational exercises performed to correct spinal deviation. Exercises are performed in a different fundamental postures.


Clinical Trial Description

Scoliosis is a malformation of the musculoskeletal system that is defined by lateral deviation of the spine, which is typically accompanied by vertebral rotation and lordosis. The term "scoliosis" refers to the curvature of the spine that results from the condition (3-dimensional deformity). Scoliosis in female teenagers often reaches its most advanced stage between the ages of 11 and 16 years old. In general, scoliosis may be broken down into two categories: structural and non-structural scoliosis. The level of severity and the degree of deformity of the spine are the major characteristics that differentiate the two groups. It is common practice to refer to the structural type of scoliosis as a sort of spinal deformity that cannot be corrected without surgical intervention. Bracing, exercises, and education are some of the conservative treatments that may be used to control non-structural spinal deformity, which is a movable disorder. Scoliosis that is not treated properly may advance to a functionally degraded condition, which is characterized by physical asymmetry, muscular imbalance, back discomfort, and considerable respiratory disruption. This can lead to distorted body image and a loss of self-esteem in the patient. Idiopathic adolescent scoliosis, more commonly known as AIS, is the diagnosis that is typically made in children who are otherwise healthy but have a spinal curvature of at least ten degrees but less than fifty degrees. This curvature range is what determines whether a child is considered to have AIS. While treating scoliosis, the primary goal of therapy should be to slow or stop the disease's development so that the treatment may be regarded effective. Non-conservative therapies often entail surgical techniques for the correction of spinal abnormalities; nevertheless, these operations do not come without associated risks. Individuals who arrive with a scoliosis curvature of less than 40 degrees have the potential to be candidates for conservative treatments such as physiotherapy scoliosis-specific exercise (PSSE), with or without the concomitant use of an external brace. ;
