BSPTS and Core Stabilization Exercises in Adolescents With Idiopathic Scoliosis
Sponsor: Istinye University
Summary
This study aims to investigate the short-term effects of adding core stabilization exercises to Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School (BSPTS) exercises in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a BSPTS exercise group or a BSPTS plus core stabilization exercise group. Both groups will participate in supervised exercise sessions twice a week for 6 weeks. The study will evaluate changes in trunk rotation angle and core muscle endurance as the primary outcomes, as well as dynamic balance, spinal appearance perception, postural awareness, and scoliosis-related quality of life.

Interventions
BSPTS Plus Core Stabilization Exercise
Participants will receive the same BSPTS-based scoliosis-specific exercise program, combined with core stabilization exercises targeting activation of the transversus abdominis, multifidus, and other deep trunk muscles. Sessions will be conducted under the supervision of a physiotherapist for 45 minutes, twice weekly for 6 weeks.
BSPTS Exercise
Participants will receive a Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School (BSPTS)-based scoliosis-specific exercise program. The program will include three-dimensional self-correction exercises focusing on spinal elongation, derotation, and sagittal plane alignment. Sessions will be conducted under the supervision of a physiotherapist for 45 minutes, twice weekly for 6 weeks.
