Title: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial to Compare the Effect of Schroth Exercises to Standard Care on Curve Characteristics, Posture, and Quality Of Life in Adolescents With Idiopathic Scoliosis
Brief Summary: The primary aim of this multicenter randomized controlled trial is to compare the effect of a 6 month "Schroth exercise program combined with standard-of-care" to "standard-of-care alone" on scoliosis curve severity measured using the Cobb angle.

Secondary aims include:

1. To determine the effect of Schroth exercises at 6 months on secondary outcomes including quality-of-life, spinal appearance, objective posture and spinal muscle endurance measurements.
2. To determine the efficacy of 6 months of Schroth therapy offered to control participants after completing 6 months in the standard-of care group (using subjects as their own controls)
3. To determine if the effects of the 6 months supervised Schroth exercise program can be maintained after supervised therapy is terminated.

At Hopital Ste-Justine, the following secondary aims will be pursued to examine the preliminary evidence about the effect of Global Postural Re-education (to satisfy the local ethics committee request because Global Postural Re-education exercises were offered routinely to patients at that institution prior to the trial).

A. To compare the effect and to quantify the treatment effect sizes of 6 months of "Global Postural Re-education exercises with North American standard Care consisting of only observation and bracing" to "Schroth exercises combined with North American standard care" and to "North American standard care alone" on scoliosis curve severity measured using the Cobb angle.

B. To estimate the effect and quantify the treatment effect sizes of 6 months of "Global Postural Re-education exercises with North American standard Care" to "Schroth exercises combined with North American standard care" and to "North American standard care alone" on outcomes including quality-of-life, perceived spinal appearance, objective posture and spinal muscle endurance measurements.

C. To determine if the effects of "Global Postural Re-education exercises with North American standard Care" can be maintained after discontinuing supervision.

D. To estimate the feasibility of conducting a randomized trial focused on Global Postural Re-education exercises by quantifying enrollment rates, attendance at scheduled exercise sessions and compliance with the home exercises prescribed.


Options:
A: Cobb's angle (10 week)
B: Skeletal Maturity With a Cobb Angle of <50 Degrees (Successful Outcome) (Skeletal maturity and the Cobb angle were measured at baseline and at each 6-month follow-up. Subjects were followed until they reached criteria for either success or failure. The average duration of follow-up was 23.67 months.)
C: Change from baseline Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at 8 weeks (Eight weeks); Change from baseline Forced Expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)at 8 weeks (Eight weeks); Change from baseline Peripheral Muscle strength at 8 weeks (Eight weeks); Change from baseline Balance at 8 weeks (Eight weeks); Change from baseline distance covered in Six- Minute Walk Test at 8 weeks (Eight weeks)
D: Change in Cobb angle (From baseline to 6 months)

Answer: D
