Sponsor's own description
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine, and Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most common subtype of scoliosis. There are various scoliosis-specific exercise programs available for the treatment of scoliosis, and core stabilization is one of the methods aimed at maintaining spinal alignment. Virtual reality offers a method to create stimulating and engaging environments using task-oriented techniques to increase individual interest and motivation. In the literature, virtual reality applications have been used in healthcare to facilitate recovery, post-morbid rehabilitation, and to improve performance in athletes. However, there is limited research on the application of virtual reality therapy for scoliosis patients. One study mentioned the use of two scoliosis-specific exercises through video-assisted games, but the limited exercise repertoire did not make a significant difference. Other video-assisted studies have suggested that exercises targeting posture, balance, and gait can be used for scoliosis patients. Therefore, our study aims to apply core stabilization exercises to scoliosis patients using virtual reality applications and investigate their effects on patient development. Although studies examining the effectiveness of core stabilization exercises on body awareness in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis are limited, they have been reported to be effective in terms of pain, body image, quality of life and functionality. This study aims to benefit from the therapeutic effects and contribute to the literature by using both different treatment methods. There are four groups in the study. Each group will be evaluated before and after ten weeks of treatment. Participants diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will be randomly assigned to three groups for the study. All participants will be evaluated before and after treatment for curvature severity and rotation angle, trunk flexibility, trunk normal joint range of motion, spine pain, Cosmetic Defect Assessment-Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale (WRVAS), Quality of Life Assessment-"Scoliosis Research Association-22" (SRS-22) and Child Depression Scale (CDI).
