The Effect of the Inspiratory Muscle Training on Respiratory Parameters and Functional Capacity in Idiopathic Scoliosis

Program will include deep diaphragmatic breathing exercises, local expansion exercise on the collapsed areas in scoliosis concave sides with elastic exercise bands, dynamic lumber stabilization exercises for core stabilisation, strengthening of interscapular muscles with elastic bands and stretching exercises for lumbar extensor, hip flexor and hamstring muscles. Exercises will be applied 2 sets of 10 repetitions and once a day.

Threshold IMT device will be used for the training. Training intensity will set at 30% of the maximum inspiratory pressure after assessment of respiratory muscle strength for each patient every week.
