Effectiveness of a Horse Riding Simulator in Adolescents With Idiopathic Scoliosis
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity associated with impaired respiratory muscle strength, balance, postural control, body image, and health-related quality of life. Core stabilization exercises are widely used in the conservative management of AIS. Horse riding simulator training reproduces the multidirectional rhythmic movements of horseback riding while eliminating the potential risks associated with conventional hippotherapy and may provide additional benefits for postural control and trunk muscle activation.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of adding horse riding simulator training to a core stabilization exercise program on respiratory muscle strength, balance, health-related quality of life, and perceived cosmetic deformity in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving horse riding simulator training combined with core stabilization exercises or a control group receiving core stabilization exercises alone. Outcomes will be assessed before and after the 12-week intervention.

Experimentell: Horse Riding Simulator + Core Stabilization
Participants will receive supervised 60-minute core stabilization exercises combined with 30-minute horse riding simulator training twice weekly for 12 weeks.
Home-based core stabilization exercises will be performed on the remaining days of the week.
|
Participants will receive 30-minute horse riding simulator training twice weekly for 12 weeks in addition to supervised core stabilization exercises.
Each session consists of 5 minutes of warm-up at low speed, 20 minutes of training at the highest speed tolerated by the participant, and 5 minutes of cool-down at low speed.
Participants will perform supervised 60-minute core stabilization exercises twice weekly for 12 weeks.
Home-based core stabilization exercises will be prescribed for the remaining days of the week.
