Feasibility and age-related trends of a home-based online exercise program in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity that often progresses during adolescence. While bracing and exercise therapies are standard conservative treatments, limited research has examined the feasibility of fully online, home-based combined exercise programs and the clinical trends observed during participation -especially in adolescents undergoing brace treatment. This single-arm prospective cohort study (without a control group) aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a six-month, fully online, home-based Schroth-Pilates program combined with brace treatment in adolescents with IS, and to observe potential age-related trends in clinical measures and adherence.

Methods

A single-center prospective cohort design was used involving 114 adolesce
