Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spine abnormality with an unknown origin. In AIS the spinal curvature is usually greater than 10 degrees in the coronal plane. Scoliosis-specific exercises in physiotherapy, with or without corrective bracing, are part of a conservative treatment strategy to avoid further spinal column deviation. Various scoliosis exercise methods are available, including the Schroth approach. The Schroth method is a type of physical treatment that lengthens and strengthens asymmetrical muscles using isometrics and other exercises.
Methods: A thorough search of the AIS literature was conducted to uncover relevant Schroth exercises articles. PubMed, and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) were among the databases examined. The Google Scholar search engine was also investigated. Randomized or clinical control trials were included in the study. All articles were written in English or were translated into English.
Results. Only four of the first eleven articles found met the established search criteria. The ages of the participants in these sources ranged from 10 to 18, with both males and girls included. The Schroth technique was used in the studies that were examined. Cobb's angle effect sizes were shown to be positive across all studies.
Conclusions: The Schroth method is effective in treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis when given for 3 to 6 months. It can therefore be used as a treatment approach alone or with conventional exercises in patients with AIS for better outcome.
