An examination of factors affecting the efficacy of physiotherapeutic scoliosis‐specific exercises in the management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Résumé fourni par la source

Abstract Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common three‐dimensional spinal deformity and one of the most prevalent spinal disorders in children. In addition to the cosmetic deformity, its secondary effects may lead to cardiopulmonary dysfunction, a decrease in physical ability, and a reduction in quality of life, making it the third most common health threat to children and adolescents after obesity and myopia. Therefore, effective intervention for AIS is of great significance for the physical and mental health of adolescents. In recent years, Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis‐Specific Exercises (PSSE), as one of the mainstream conservative treatments, have been widely applied in clinical practice with positive feedback. However, its effectiveness is influenced by various factors. To this end, this study systematically searched relevant literature published in the past decade in PubMed, CNKI, and Web of Science databases on topics such as AIS, scoliosis‐specific exercises, exercise interventions, and randomized controlled trials. A review analysis of the factors influencing PSSE in the treatment of AIS was conducted, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for optimizing conservative treatment strategies and improving effectiveness.
