Effect of Supervised Versus Hybrid Delivery of Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises in Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
: PSSE may be an effective conservative intervention for improving structural curvature and trunk rotation in patients with AIS. Subgroup findings suggest that closer therapist supervision may be associated with more favorable effects, particularly for ATR; however, these findings should be interpreted cautiously because of heterogeneity and potential risk of bias. Large-scale, high-quality trials are warranted to confirm the magnitude and long-term sustainability of clinical effects.
