Comparison of the Effects of Controlled Schroth Exercise and Home Exercise Programs

October 31, 2022 updated by: Eastern Mediterranean University

Comparison of the Effects of Controlled Schroth Exercise and Home Programs on Body Symmetry, Deformity Perception and Quality of Life in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Schroth 3D exercise method on home symmetry, trunk topography, scapula symmetry, pelvic symmetry, health related quality of life and cosmetic deformity perception in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis

Detailed Description

Cobb angle measurement, which is accepted as the gold standard in patients with scoliosis, is a radiological measurement. However, in continuous follow-up, the search for other methods to obtain objective data that will provide a short term evaluation on the patient in determining the efficacy of conservative treatment continues.

In our study, individuals who meet the criteria will be evaluated at the beginning and end of the study. Sociodemographic features and scoliosis characteristics (Cobb angle, degree of bone maturation according to Risser, apex, vertebra rotation angle) will be recorded. Posterior Trunk Asymmetry Index (POTSI) will be used to determine body asymmetry, and topographic measurements will be performed with Artec Eva 3D Scanner and motion analysis will be performed with Biomechanical Motion Analysis Sistem (Model is BTS Smart DX100) . Individuals will evaluate their cosmetic deformities with the Walter Reed Visual Evaluation Scale. Scoliosis Research Society-22 will be used to measure quality of life.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Root Mean Square(RMS)
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Body right and left asymmetry will be examined.
12 weeks
3D Motion analysis
Time Frame: 12 weeks
3D motion analysis with 4 cameras, symmetry of certain points will be evaluated during motion.
12 weeks
Postural Trunk Asymmetry Index (POTSI)
Time Frame: 12 weeks
It is a method that allows an individual with AIS to evaluate body shape and asymmetry.
12 weeks
Walter Reed Visuel Assesment Scale
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Walter Reed Visuel Assesment Scale (WRVAS) each aspect is shown with five levels of increasing severity of the seven type of deformity that are scored from minimum (1) to maximum (5). How individuals perceive their own cosmetic deformities and the effectiveness of treatment in improving cosmetic deformity can be evaluated
12 weeks
Scoliosis Research Society-22
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Scoliosis Research Society (SRS-22) is a simple and practical questionnaire specific to individuals with scoliosis. The questionnaire included pain, self-image, function / activity, mental health and treatment satisfaction. There are 22 questionnaire questions, scoring from 1 to 5. The minimum score is the worst score (22).
