Comparative efficacy of schroth and core training for early postoperative recovery in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: A single blind randomized controlled trial
Compared with isolated core stabilization training, Schroth 3D scoliosis-specific exercises combined with core training demonstrate superior efficacy in improving early postoperative muscular function, pelvic symmetry, and self-image. Nevertheless, comparable effects were observed between both rehabilitation protocols regarding early postoperative Cobb angles of major and minor curves, convex-concave paraspinal muscle balance restoration, pain alleviation, and psychological status improvement.
