简要总结
This randomized controlled trial investigates the effects of augmented reality (AR)-based exercise training in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Participants are randomly assigned to either a control group receiving conventional Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSE-Schroth) or an intervention group receiving AR-assisted PSSE-Schroth exercises. The primary outcomes include body awareness, trunk appearance perception, and exercise adherence. The study aims to evaluate whether AR-assisted training provides additional benefits over conventional therapy in improving postural control, perception, and compliance in scoliosis management.
详细描述
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity that may negatively affect posture, body image, and adherence to exercise-based rehabilitation. While Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSE-Schroth) are widely accepted as a conservative treatment method, adherence and perception-related factors remain challenging.
This study is designed as a parallel-group, randomized controlled trial comparing conventional PSSE-Schroth exercises with AR-assisted PSSE-Schroth training. A total of 30 adolescents diagnosed with AIS were enrolled and randomized into two groups:
Control Group: received supervised PSSE-Schroth exercises.
Intervention Group: received supervised AR-assisted PSSE-Schroth exercises.
The intervention lasted 12 weeks, and participants were evaluated at baseline and post-intervention.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Body Awareness (ABC - Vücut Farkındalık Çizelgesi)
时间窗: Baseline (T0) and 4 weeks after intervention (T4).
Body awareness will be assessed using the standardized Awareness-Body-Chart (ABC). Participants rate awareness of different body regions, and a total score is calculated. The outcome is the change in total ABC score from baseline (T0) to the end of intervention (T4, 4th week). A higher score indicates greater body awareness.
