简要总结
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal deformity that may affect physical function and pulmonary capacity during adolescence. Exercise-based rehabilitation programs are frequently used in the conservative management of scoliosis.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of scoliosis-specific exercises combined with upper and lower extremity progressive resistance exercises on anthropometric, clinical, and pulmonary parameters in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
Participants diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will participate in an exercise program including scoliosis-specific exercises and progressive resistance exercises targeting upper and lower extremities. Anthropometric measurements, clinical assessments, and pulmonary function parameters will be evaluated before and after the intervention.
The results of this study are expected to provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of combined exercise interventions on physical and respiratory outcomes in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
详细描述
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is characterized by a three-dimensional spinal deformity that can influence posture, musculoskeletal balance, and respiratory function. Conservative treatment approaches often include physiotherapy-based exercise programs aimed at improving spinal alignment, muscle strength, and overall functional capacity.
In this study, adolescents diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis will undergo an exercise intervention consisting of scoliosis-specific exercises combined with progressive resistance exercises targeting upper and lower extremity muscle groups. The intervention program aims to improve musculoskeletal strength, posture, and respiratory function.
Anthropometric measurements, clinical parameters, and pulmonary function values will be assessed before and after the exercise program. These outcomes will help evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention in improving physical and respiratory parameters in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
The findings of this study may contribute to the development of effective rehabilitation strategies for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and support evidence-based physiotherapy practices.
