Brief summary
Scoliosis can be defined as a 3-dimensional deformity in which the lateral deviation and rotation of the vertebrae occur, as well as changes in the physiological curves of the spine. The gold standard criterion is that the Cobb angle, which determines the lateral deviation of the spine in the frontal plane, is greater than 10°. Postural control and balance occur as a result of the integration of many sensory information. It is thought that postural control and balance in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients are adversely affected by biomechanical changes in sensory input, central integration, weight transfer mechanism and the structure of the medulla spinalis. In addition to these, vestibular disorders and proprioceptive losses may have an effect on balance. Decline in balance reduces the quality of life of individuals with AIS. In addition, exercise has an important place in the treatment of individuals with AIS. In order to get more efficiency from the exercises, it is necessary to improve the balance. The aim of this study is to evaluate the changes in balance, proprioception, and knee muscle strength of patients, to determine the place of balance exercises in the treatment of individuals with AIS, and to investigate the effect of core stabilization exercises on balance and proprioception in patients with AIS.
Interventions
Patients in this group will receive posture exercises, strengthening exercises, diaphragmatic breathing exercises and stretching exercises.
OTHERCore Stability Training
Patients in this group will receive traditional scoliosis exercises. In addition, the training group will receive core stabilization exercises for multifidus, diaphragm,erector spines, rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques, quadratus lumborum, iliopsoas, gluteus maximus, and pelvic floor muscles.
