简要总结
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a prevalent three-dimensional torsional disorder, primarily affecting adolescents during puberty. Characterized by a lateral deviation of the spine greater than 10°, AIS can lead to physical and psychological issues, including back pain, cosmetic deformity, and reduced quality of life. This study aims to compare the effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) techniques and Core Stabilization exercises on physical and functional parameters in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. This randomized controlled trial was conducted with 52 adolescents aged 10-18 years, diagnosed with AIS (Cobb angle of 10-30°). Participants were randomly assigned to either the PNF group or the Core Stabilization group. Both groups underwent a 10-week supervised exercise program, supplemented by a home exercise regimen. Primary outcomes included changes in the Cobb angle and Angle of Trunk Rotation (ATR). Secondary outcomes assessed quality of life (SRS-22), perceived trunk appearance (WRVAS), and physical function (6MWT and STS).

结局指标
主要结局
Cobb
时间窗: 24 weeks
The Cobb: Lines are drawn parallel to the upper edge of the superior vertebra and the lower edge of the inferior vertebra. Then, perpendicular lines are drawn to these parallel lines, and the angle between the two perpendiculars is measured. This angle, known as the Cobb angle, indicates the degree of scoliosis.
次要结局
- The Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale(24 weeks)
- Trunk Rotation Angle,(24 weeks)
- Scoliosis Research Society-22(24 weeks)
