Effect of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Combined With Scoliosis-Specific Three-Dimensional Exercises in Adolescents With Idiopathic Scoliosis
Conditions: Scoliosis Idiopathic Adolescent, Scoliosis,Idiopathic,Adolescent
Sex: All
Ages: 10 Years – 18 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 36
Sponsor: Gazi University
Location: Gaziosmanpasa Education and Research Hospital Istanbul Gaziosmanpasa
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of scoliosis-specific three-dimensional exercises combined with pelvic floor muscle training on scoliosis severity and spinopelvic parameters in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does the addition of pelvic floor muscle training to scoliosis-specific three-dimensional exercises improve scoliosis severity compared with scoliosis-specific three-dimensional exercises alone?
* Does the addition of pelvic floor muscle training improve spinopelvic parameters compared with scoliosis-specific three-dimensional exercises alone? Researchers will compare a scoliosis-specific three-dimensional exercise plus pelvic floor muscle training group with a scoliosis-specific three-dimensional exercise group to determine whether the combined intervention provides additional clinical benefits.
Participants will:
* undergo baseline clinical and radiographic assessments;
* be randomly assigned to one of the two intervention groups;
* receive supervised treatment for 3 months according to the assigned intervention;
* undergo follow-up clinical and radiographic assessments at the end of the intervention period.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Aged 10-18 years.
* Diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and eligible for brace treatment.

* Risser sign between 0 and 3.
* Able to comply with and regularly attend the assigned treatment program.
* No neurological or psychiatric disorder.
* Willing to participate in the study, with written assent from the participant and informed consent from a parent or legal guardian.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Any contraindication to exercise.
* Previous surgery involving the thoracic, abdominal, or pelvic region.
* Previous scoliosis surgery or being a candidate for scoliosis surgery.
* Any cognitive or mental condition that could prevent understanding or following the treatment program.
* Non-idiopathic scoliosis, including neurological, congenital, or other secondary causes.
* Receipt of any scoliosis treatment or pelvic floor muscle training within the previous year.
* Diagnosis of urinary incontinence.
* Regular participation in sports.
