Brief summary: The vertebral column is a structure that transfers the weight of the head and torso to the lower extremity, provides trunk movements and protects the spinal cord.A three dimensional deformity involving lateral flexion of the vertebrae in the frontal plane at 10 ° and above, including axial rotation and physiologic flexion (hypokyphosis) components in the sagittal plane, is defined as scoliosis. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a type of idiopathic scoliosis that occurs in the period from the onset of puberty (up to 10 years) until the closure of growth plates.

Scoliosis is caused by postural, balance and neuromotor disorders as a primary cause of impaired sensory integrity, proprioceptive feedback deficits, secondary lung problems, organ disorders and pain. In addition, the quality of life in these individuals is also seen to decrease.

There are no studies in the literature examining the effects of Schroth exercise training on trunk muscle strength, respiratory muscle strength, trunk muscle stiffness, balance and quality of life in children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

The aim of our study is to examine whether Schroth exercise training has an effect on trunk muscle strength, trunk muscle stiffness, respiratory muscle strength, balance, quality of life and perception of cosmetic deformity in children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It is thought that this study will fill the gap in the literature with the original information it will bring to the literature and will shed light on future studies.
