Scoliosis-Specific Exercises for At-Risk Mild Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Curves: A Multi-Site Preliminary Randomized Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Scoliosis Specific Exercises for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Completed, enrolled 98 participants across 6 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study will be a multi-center, dual-arm randomized control study evaluating skeletally immature patients with mild AIS curves. At six institutions, patients will be randomized into either the scoliosis-specific exercise (SSE) treatment arm or a control group. The SSE group will receive training in SSE, posture, and activities of daily living by physical therapists certified in Schroth-based exercise methods. The control group will not receive SSE instruction and will only be observed by their treating orthopaedic surgeon (which is considered the standard-of-care treatment method). Results will be compared after one year of treatment.
