Inspiratory Muscle Training in Children and Adolescents With Idiopathic Scoliosis Undergoing Schroth Therapy.
Sponsor: Wroclaw University of Health and Sport Sciences
Summary
This study evaluates the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training in children and adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis undergoing therapy with the Schroth method. The intervention- inspiratory muscle training- aims to improve respiratory function, increase exercise tolerance, and strengthen core stability in the participants. The proposed training may enhance the effectiveness of therapy conducted using the Schroth method and improve participants' performance in activities of daily living. The project aims to assess the impact of inspiratory muscle training in children and adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis on respiratory system function, exercise tolerance, and core stability.

Conditions
Interventions
Inspiratory Muscle Training
Participants will perform inspiratory muscle training using a respiratory muscle trainer. The initial training load will be set at 30% of PImax. The intervention will last for 8 weeks and will be carried out 5 days per week, twice daily, in 3 sets of 10 repetitions. The training load will be increased in the 2nd, 4th, and 6th week of the program, each time by an additional 10% relative to the initial PImax.
Inspiratory Muscle Training (Sham)
The training intervention in the Sham Group will differ from the experimental group only in terms of training load. This load will remain constant at 15% PImax, which does not cause any changes in the functioning of the inspiratory muscles. All other training parameters will be identical to those in the IMT group.
