Özet
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the Schroth and PNF exercise methods concerning the Cobb angle, trunk rotation angle, quality of life, and aesthetic trunk deformity in adolescents diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis.MethodsThis study employed a randomized, single-blind, 1:1 parallel-group design, involving a total of 67 adolescent patients. Participants were randomly allocated to either the Schroth group or the PNF group. Both groups participated in supervised exercise training sessions three times a week over a six-month period. Baseline and post-treatment assessments were conducted by the same researcher, who remained blinded to group allocations throughout the study. Statistical analysis was conducted using a mixed model for repeated measures ANOVA for each outcome measure.ResultsStatistical analysis revealed a significant difference between the …
