Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, aged 10–18 years, with a Cobb angle of 10°–45° (mild-to-moderate), will be enrolled. To minimize confounding bias caused by differences in curve types on the core outcome measure of pulmonary function, this study restricts inclusion to patients with a single thoracic C-shaped curve (i.e., Thoracic-R/L type according to the classification of the Institute of Sports Medicine, General Administration of Sport of China, corresponding to type 3C in the Lehnert-Schroth classification).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. The coefficient was calculated based on the formula [coefficient =Cobb Angle - (3×Risser sign) ÷ age]. Combined with the corresponding relationship chart of "the horizontal axis represents the coefficient and the vertical axis represents the percentage of deterioration risk", if the risk of scoliosis deterioration corresponding to this coefficient is greater than 60%, it is excluded (such patients are not recommended to only use exercise intervention). Patients with an annual Cobb Angle progression greater than 5°; 2. The types of scoliosis include thoracolumbar junction scoliosis, lumbar scoliosis, and S-shaped scoliosis. Combined with other spinal deformities (such as congenital scoliosis, early-onset scoliosis); Those who have previously undergone spinal surgery or worn braces for treatment and have not stopped taking or wearing the braces; 3. Past medical history or current diseases that affect balance function, including but not limited to neurological diseases (such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, peripheral neuropathy, vestibular neuritis, etc.), bone and joint injuries or deformities (such as hip dysplasia, ankle instability, history of spinal fractures, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.), and muscle diseases (such as muscular dystrophy); 4. Contraindications for exercise (such as severe heart and lung diseases, acute soft tissue injuries, coagulation disorders, uncontrolled hypertension, etc.); Those with cognitive impairment, mental illness or inability to cooperate with intervention; Patients who were unable to continue participating in the study due to accidents, diseases, etc. during the intervention period; 5. In the past three months, the individual has received relevant interventions such as spinal rehabilitation and balance training, including but not limited to spinal correction training (such as Schroth therapy, SEAS therapy, etc.), balance training, brace wearing, spinal massage, acupuncture, and spinal rehabilitation physiotherapy.
