ClinConnect Summary

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional structural deformity in growing children, not associated with a cause, in which lateral deviation of the spine over 10° is accompanied by rotation. The magnitude of the Cobb angle is used to classify the severity of scoliosis. In immature AIS cases, if the Cobb angle is between 25°-40°, bracing and exercise therapy is applied. Exercise in AIS is performed to reduce clinical symptoms, improve cosmetics and prevent curve progression. Corrective exercises based on sensorimotor and kinesthetic principles include self-correction in fro...
