Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis
Conditions
Interventions
The study will have a controlled, parallel, and randomized clinical trial design in which one hundred adolescents with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will be recruited and randomized into two interve
and a control group (n=50) consisting only of traditional conservative treatment with specific exercises and use of an orthopedic brace (n=50). The primary outcome measures will be spinopelvic paramet
and secondary outcome measures will be postural balance measured by the Baiobit system (Kinetec) and quality of life measured by the Scoliosis Research Society-22 questionnaire. Measurements will be a
