Brief summary: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of scoliosis-specific exercises in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients, who had surgical indication, on functional capacity, cosmetic deformity perception, quality of life in postoperative period.

Detailed description: 30 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients, who had surgery indication and aged between 10-18 years, will be included. The participants will be randomised into two groups. 15 patients will be included in the exercise group and 15 patients in the control group. In the exercise group, a total of 12 sessions of exercise are planned, 6 weeks before the surgery and 2 days per week. In the control group, the exercise protocol will not be performed before surgery.

The outcomes will include the cosmetic deformity, quality of life, pain level, functional capacity, spine flexibility. In the exercise group, the evaluations will be made in the first interview (before exercise application), at the end of 6 weeks of exercise (when the exercise program is completed), in the early postoperative period and 12 weeks after surgery. Evaluations in the control group will be carried out at the first interview, at the 6th week, in the early postoperative period, and at the 12th week postoperatively.
