fNIRS-based Analysis and Evaluation of the Effect of Schroth Rehabilitation on Motor Functions in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS)

This study investigates the effects of Schroth-based rehabilitation on cortical dynamics, body awareness, and quality of life in individuals with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Using fNIRS technology, motor control processes will be monitored, and the impact of rehabilitation on brain activity will be assessed. A total of 30 participants (15 healthy and 15 with AIS), aged 8-16, will be examined, with pre- and post-rehabilitation comparisons. Measurements will include static posture, Y-Balance Test, Schroth walking, and brain activity recordings. SPM analysis will be used to assess brain signals, and quality of life and cosmetic deformity perception will be statistically evaluated. The findings will contribute to the integration of neuroimaging into rehabilitation assessment, helping to develop more effective treatment strategies.
