About this study

Official title: The Effect of Core Stabilization Training on Respiratory Parameters, Peripheral Muscle Strength, Balance, Functional Capacity and Quality of Life in Children With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

The vertebral column is a structure that transfers the weight of the head and torso to the lower extremity, provides trunk movements and protects the spinal cord.A three dimensional deformity involving lateral flexion of the vertebrae in the frontal plane at 10 ° and above, including axial rotation and physiologic flexion (hypokyphosis) components in the sagittal plane, is defined as scoliosis. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a type of idiopathic scoliosis that occurs in the period from the onset of puberty (up to 10 years) until the closure of growth plates.

Scoliosis is caused by postural, balance and neuromotor disorders as a primary cause of impaired sensory integrity, proprioceptive feedback deficits, secondary lung problems, organ disorders and pain. In addition, the quality of life in these individuals is also seen to decrease.Children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have inadequate respiratory function and a decrease in functional capacity. At the same time, these children show muscle weakness in certain parts of the body.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between home based core stabilization training, respiratory parameters, peripheral muscle strength, balance, functional capacity and quality of life in individuals with young scoliosis. The investigators suggest that the addition of core stabilization training to children with mild and moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will produce good results.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Home Based Traditional Scoliosis ExerciseOther

    Program will include posture exercises, strengthening exercises of interscapular muscle and limb, diaphragmatic breathing exercises and stretching exercises for lumbar extensor, hip flexor, hamstring, pectoral muscles. Exercises will be applied 1 sets of 10 repetitions and once a day.

  • Home Based Core Stabilization TrainingOther

    Program will include posture exercises, strengthening exercises of interscapular muscle and limb, diaphragmatic breathing exercises and stretching exercises for lumbar extensor, hip flexor, hamstring, pectoral muscles. In addition, the training group received core stabilization exercises for multifidus, transversus abdominis, diaphragm,erector spines, rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques, quadratus lumborum, gluteus maximus, and pelvic floor muscles.Exercises will be applied 1 sets of 10 repetitions and once a day.

Study groups in NCT03823053
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control GroupActive comparatorThe control group will be given home based traditional scoliosis exercise training for 8 weeks, 5 days a week for 30 minutes. The content of the physiotherapy program; posture, interscapular muscle strengthening, stretching and lateral flexion exercises are formed.
Receives: Other: Home Based Traditional Scoliosis Exercise
Training GroupExperimentalIn addition to home based traditional scoliosis exercise, the training group will also receive core stabilization exercise training for 8 weeks, 5 days a week, for 30 minutes. Core stabilization training; exercises for 2 muscle systems that contribute to spinal stability are given. The first one is the "local system" muscles; multifidus, transversus abdominis, diaphragm and pelvic floor muscles. The second, the "global system" includes large superficial muscles, such as erector spines, rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques, quadratus lumborum, gluteus maximus, and latissimus dorsi.
Receives: Other: Home Based Traditional Scoliosis Exercise; Other: Home Based Core Stabilization Training

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Home Based Traditional Scoliosis Exercise and Home Based Core Stabilization Training in people with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, run by Bezmialem Vakif University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at 8 weeks (time frame: Eight weeks). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03823053, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
