Scoliosis; Adolescence

Brief summary

our study was to compare the advantages of Schroth and PNF methods used in AIS treatment

Detailed description

there are studies showing that Schroth and PNF are effective on AIS seperately. While there are studies showing that Schroth is particularly effective on AIS, the number of studies on PNF is insufficient. However, no evidence was found comparing the efficacy of Schroth and PNF. Therefore, the aim of our study was to compare the advantages of Schroth and PNF methods used in AIS treatment
