This study aimed to comparatively examine the effects of different exercise training programs on kinesiophobia, functional capacity, disability level, neck injury status, balance, body health, and quality of life in adolescent individuals diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and undergoing spinal fusion planning. A total of 42 individuals were included in the spinal fusion group and divided into three regular groups (Body Awareness Therapy + Core Stabilization: n=14, Core Stabilization: n=14, Control: n=14). Exercise programs were to be implemented twice a week for 8 weeks under the supervision of a physiotherapist. The classic exercise group received a home exercise program. Assessments were conducted before and after the examination. The following questionnaires will be used to assess: pain (McGill Short Form Pain Questionnaire), dynamic balance (Y Balance Test), disability (Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)), body care (Body Awareness Questionnaire), functional capacity (6-animal gait test), kinesiophobia (Tampa Kinesiophobia Questionnaire), and quality of life (Scoliosis Research Association-30 (SRS-30) Questionnaire).
