Effectiveness of Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis in Mild Idiopathic Scoliosis

Patients who opted to participate in the SEAS group underwent SEAS therapy. The SEAS therapy program initially comrised patient education and active self-correction. Subsequently, stabilization of active self correction was tried to be performed through various functional activities. These activities were selected from everyday life examples, with increasing levels of difficulty over time. With SEAS exercises, the activation of self-correction was aimed to be increased through various activities in sitting, standing and walking conditions, with the goal of correcting scoliosis in this way

Patients who declined or were unable to participate in outpatient exercise programs received standard care. Standard care included exercises for postural re-education, traditional strengthening and stretching exercises for one session, followed by observation for one year.
