In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This prospective randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether adding resisted inspiratory muscle training (IMT) to Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSE)-Schroth exercises provides additional benefits on clinical outcomes in individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to either PSSE-Schroth plus IMT or PSSE-Schroth alone. Both groups will receive supervised exercise sessions three times per week for 8 weeks (24 sessions). Outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention and will include clinical measures (e.g., Cobb angle, angle of trunk rotation, Posterior Trunk Symmetry Index, The Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale), respiratory muscle performance (maximal inspiratory pressure/maximal expiratory pressure, six-minute walk test) and related physiological parameters, functional performance (balance, 3D kinematics
