Video game exercises after scoliosis surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares active video game-based exercises with standard stability training in teens who had surgery for severe scoliosis. It aims to see if fun, interactive games can improve recovery just as well as traditional stability training.

This study compares two ways of doing scoliosis-specific exercises (Schroth exercises) to see if doing them at home works as well as doing them with a therapist. Teens with mild to moderate scoliosis may improve their posture and spine curve.
This study compares two ways of doing Schroth exercises (special exercises to help straighten the spine) for teens with moderate scoliosis. One method uses a virtual reality headset, and the other uses the traditional approach. The goal is to see which improves how the spine moves during daily activities.
