Horse riding simulator for teens with scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a horse riding simulator can help improve posture and reduce spine curvature in teenagers with scoliosis. It may be a fun and safe way to support your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 19 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (a sideways curve of the spine with no known cause).
- Your spine curve measures between 10 and 40 degrees on an X-ray.
- You are willing to participate, and your parent or guardian agrees if you are under 18.
- You have not had surgery in the last 3 months.
- You do not have other health conditions that would make exercise unsafe.
- You are not already exercising regularly (3 or more days a week).

This trial tests whether two types of exercise programs can improve spine curvature in teenagers with a common form of scoliosis. The exercises are tailored to help strengthen the core and improve posture.
This study tests a 16-week corrective exercise program for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to see if these exercises can improve spinal curves and posture without surgery or bracing.
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.
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 looks at how a specific exercise program affects posture and quality of life in teenagers with scoliosis (a curved spine). It compares results to teens without scoliosis to see if the exercises help.
