In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Scoliosis is a musculoskeletal disorder defined by a three-dimensional spinal deformity that can result in substantial clinical and functional limitations, particularly during adolescence and young adulthood. Affected individuals commonly experience postural asymmetry, muscular imbalance, pain, and diminished quality of life. In conservative management, Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSE) have gained recognition as a fundamental intervention. The primary objectives of PSSE include optimizing spinal alignment, facilitating rotational breathing, and restoring muscular symmetry to improve functional capacity. Evidence from systematic reviews suggests that PSSE, especially the Schroth method, are superior to general exercise programs in improving both radiographic parameters and health-related quality of life.Meta-analytic findings further support the effectiveness of PSSE
