Core exercises versus traditional therapy for teenage scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two types of physical therapy for teenage girls with scoliosis: core stabilization exercises (which strengthen the muscles around your abdomen and lower back) versus traditional rehabilitation exercises. The goal is to see which approach works better at improving your spine curve and overall function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a girl between 11 and 18 years old.
- You must have scoliosis (a sideways curve of the spine) that is not caused by another medical problem.
- Your spine curve must be between 10 and 40 degrees (this is called the Cobb angle).
- You must be able to follow instructions and take part in physical therapy exercises.
- You cannot have had spine surgery or other major health issues (like heart or lung disease).
