Comparative efficacy of six types of scoliosis-specific exercises on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) stands as the predominant spinal deformity in adolescents, manifesting symptoms including back pain, functional limitations, cosmetic worries, and respiratory dysfunction. At present, six approaches of scoliosis-specific exercises are globally practiced, encompassing Schroth exercise, the Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis (SEAS), the Dobomed, the side shift exercise, active self-correction, and the Functional Individual Therapy of Scoliosis (FITS).
