Feedback-Based Balance Training for Adolescents With Idiopathic Scoliosis
Sponsor: Ankara Etlik City Hospital
Summary
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is associated with impaired balance, and previous studies have shown that combining balance or hippotherapy training with scoliosis-specific exercises such as Schroth can improve postural control and quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the effect of adding HUBER® 360 neuromuscular balance training to scoliosis-specific exercises on balance outcomes in adolescents with AIS.
Official title: Effect of Adding Feedback-Based Balance Training to Individualized Conservative Scoliosis Exercises Compared With Individualized Conservative Scoliosis Exercises Alone on Balance in Adolescents With Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial

Interventions
HUBER® 360 Balance Training
Participants complete 30 minutes of balance training using the HUBER® 360 device during each session throughout the study period. The training focuses on postural control, spinal stability, muscle strengthening, and balance control. All sessions are supervised by a physiotherapist.
Home-Based Balance Exercise Program
Participants complete a structured 30-minute home-based balance exercise program regularly throughout the study period. The exercises focus on postural control and balance training. No device-based or feedback-based balance training is used in this intervention.
Individualized Conservative Scoliosis Exercises
Participants perform 45-minute supervised scoliosis exercise sessions throughout the study period. The exercises focus on postural correction, spinal mobility, and muscle balance. All sessions are supervised by a physiotherapist.
