Brief summary
The vertebral column is a structure that transfers the weight of the head and torso to the lower extremity, provides trunk movements and protects the spinal cord.A three dimensional deformity involving lateral flexion of the vertebrae in the frontal plane at 10 ° and above, including axial rotation and physiologic flexion (hypokyphosis) components in the sagittal plane, is defined as scoliosis. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a type of idiopathic scoliosis that occurs in the period from the onset of puberty (up to 10 years) until the closure of growth plates. Scoliosis is caused by postural, balance and neuromotor disorders as a primary cause of impaired sensory integrity, proprioceptive feedback deficits, secondary lung problems, organ disorders and pain. In addition, the quality of life in these individuals is also seen to decrease.Children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have inadequate respiratory function and a decrease in functional capacity. At the same time, these children show muscle weakness in certain parts of the body. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between home based core stabilization training, respiratory parameters, peripheral muscle strength, balance, functional capacity and quality of life in individuals with young scoliosis. The investigators suggest that the addition of core stabilization training to children with mild and moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will produce good results.
Interventions
OTHERHome Based Traditional Scoliosis Exercise
Program will include posture exercises, strengthening exercises of interscapular muscle and limb, diaphragmatic breathing exercises and stretching exercises for lumbar extensor, hip flexor, hamstring, pectoral muscles. Exercises will be applied 1 sets of 10 repetitions and once a day.
OTHERHome Based Core Stabilization Training
Program will include posture exercises, strengthening exercises of interscapular muscle and limb, diaphragmatic breathing exercises and stretching exercises for lumbar extensor, hip flexor, hamstring, pectoral muscles. In addition, the training group received core stabilization exercises for multifidus, transversus abdominis, diaphragm,erector spines, rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques, quadratus lumborum, gluteus maximus, and pelvic floor muscles.Exercises will be applied 1 sets of 10 repetitions and once a day.
