Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis with the Schroth Method

Patients in the experimental group exercised for 90 minutes a day, three days a week. Schroth exercises were performed in an asymmetrical position to improve the symmetry of the trunk. These exercises include stretching, flexion, spinal lengthening, derotation, strengthening, and rotational breathing exercises. The respondents combined these exercises with everyday life activities. In the control group, subjects were taught Schroth exercises under the supervision of an authorized physiotherapist, and they were asked to practice the exercises as regularly as possible at home.
