About this study
Official title: Efficacy of Mat-Pilates Exercises on Balance and Functional Capacity in Adolescents With Scoliosis. A Randomized Controlled Trial.
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of mat-Pilates exercises on balance and functional capacity in adolescents with scoliosis.
Read the detailed description
Adolescent scoliosis is one of the common spinal deformities observed during adolescence period aged between 10-16 years. It can introduce wide-ranging dysfunction in different bodily systems and organs. Numerous researchers present that standing balance assessments show greater postural instability in adolescent with scoliosis compared with age-matched controls. Pilates exercises emphasizes the development of a neutral spine as it consists of stretching, strengthening, and coordination activities. Consequently, it could improve the stability of the spine, muscle strength, and flexibility of the pelvis, and hip joints that in turn, could improve balance, lower limbs strength, and functional capacity. Several studies support the use of mat-Pilates exercises among different areas in adults while, there is no research conducted on balance and functional capacity in children and adolescents with scoliosis. Hence, there is need to study the efficacy of mat-Pilates exercises on balance and functional capacity in adolescents with scoliosis.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Conventional Physical TherapyOther
It includes stretching exercises of the concave side muscles, strengthening exercises of the convex side muscles, postural control exercises from sitting and standing, and breathing exercises.
Mat-Pilates ExercisesOther
It includes a selected pilates exercises in the form of bridge, hundred, alternate toe taps, single leg circles, side to side, side kick lying, quadruped, spine twist, side leg raise, and tandem walking
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Conventional Physical Therapy | Active comparator | Adolescents with scoliosis will receive the conventional physical therapy for 45 min./session Receives: Other: Conventional Physical Therapy |
| Mat-Pilates | Experimental | Adolescents with scoliosis will receive the conventional physical therapy for 45 minutes/session in addition to mat-pilates exercises for 45 min./session Receives: Other: Conventional Physical Therapy; Other: Mat-Pilates Exercises |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Balance
Biodex Stability System will be used to measure overall stability index, anteroposterior stability index and mediolateral stability index.
Measured: Up to 12 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Functional Capacity
Six-minute walk test will be used for measuring functional capacity. It is a sub-maximal test of aerobic capacity, in which the subjects walk as far as possible in 6 minutes (min.) around a premeasured distance.
Measured: Up to 12 weeks
