Sponsor's own description

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity with an unknown cause that affects adolescents aged 10 or older. A standing posterior-anterior radiograph with a Cobb angle greater than 10 degrees is used to make the diagnosis. Depending on the severity of the spinal deformity, conservative treatments and surgery are used to treat AIS. Patients whose spinal curvature is greater than 45 degrees are typically considered for surgery. The majority of patients with AIS receive conservative treatments to prevent and slow the progression of the curve. 2 Orthotic intervention (OI) and scoliosis-specific exercise (SSE) are commonly recommended by the International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment for patients with a curvature between 20 and 45 degrees. Self correction exercises are the group of spinal extension, lateral spinal flexion and rotational exercises performed to correct spinal deviation. Exercises are performed in a different fundamental postures.
