Özet
BackgroundAdolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity that negatively affects postural alignment, functional capacity, and quality of life. Exercise-based interventions such as Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and Core Stabilization (CS) are increasingly utilized to improve structural and functional outcomes in AIS, yet comparative evidence remains limited.ObjectiveTo evaluate and compare the isolated effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and Core Stabilization (CS) exercises on spinal curvature, trunk rotation, physical function, and health-related quality of life in adolescents with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), with the aim of informing evidence-based conservative treatment strategies.MethodsThis randomized controlled trial included 52 adolescents aged 10–18 years diagnosed with AIS. Participants were randomly assigned to either a …
