Effect of Scoliosis and Progressive Resistance Exercises on Clinical and Pulmonary Parameters in Adolescents With Idiopathic Scoliosis

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal deformity that may affect physical function and pulmonary capacity during adolescence. Exercise-based rehabilitation programs are frequently used in the conservative management of scoliosis. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of scoliosis-specific exercises combined with upper and lower extremity progressive resistance exercises on anthropometric, clinical, and pulmonary parameters in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Participants diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will participate in an exercise program including scoliosis-specific exercises and progressive resistance exercises targeting upper and lower extremities. Anthropometric measurements, clinical assessments, and pulmonary function parameters will be evaluated before and after the intervention. The results of this study are expected to provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of combined exercise interventions on physical and respiratory outcomes in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
