Telerehabilitation is proposed to improve access and continuity of exercise-based care. This randomized controlled trial compared telerehabilitation-supported home exercise with standard home exercises in adolescents with mild AIS. Forty participants (10–18 years, Cobb 10–25°, Risser 0–3) completed an 8-week program with weekly online physiotherapist supervision in the study group. Outcomes included pain (VAS), posture, body image, and quality of life (SRS-22).",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/","Healthcare",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/enhancing-home-based-exercise-therapy-with-telerehabilitation-in-mild-adolescent-idiopathic-scoliosis-a-randomized-controlled-trial/461912/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/enhancing-home-based-exercise-therapy-with-telerehabilitation-in-mild-adolescent-idiopathic-scoliosis-a-randomized-controlled-trial/461912.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Aria","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-30",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",11,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What was the main purpose of this study?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"To compare telerehabilitation-supported home exercise programs with standard home exercises for mild adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, focusing on posture, pain, body image, and quality of life.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"How were participants assigned to groups and what did they do during the intervention?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"Forty adolescents with mild AIS were randomly assigned to a study group (n=20) and control group (n=20).

Telerehabilitation has emerged as a promising approach to enhance accessibility and continuity of exercise-based treatment in AIS. This study aimed to compare the effects of telerehabilitation-supported home exercise programs with standard home exercises on posture, pain, body image, and quality of life in adolescents with mild AIS. Materials and Methods: Forty adolescents aged 10–18 years with mild AIS (Cobb angle 10–25◦ , Risser 0–3) were randomly assigned to two groups: study (n = 20) and control (n = 20) . Both groups performed an 8-week home-based exercise program. The study group additionally received weekly online supervision by a physiotherapist. Outcomes included pain severity (VAS), posture (New York Posture Assessment Scale), body image (Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale), and quality of life (SRS-22 questionnaire) . Statistical analyses were performed using non-parametric tests, with a significance level of p \u003C 0.05 . Results: Twenty-nine participants completed the study (15 in the study group, 14 in the control group) . Significant improvements were observed in the study group in SRS-22 total, pain, and function subscores, as well as posture scores (p \u003C 0.05) . In the control group, only the satisfaction subscore improved significantly (p \u003C 0.05) . No significant changes were detected in body image (WRVAS) in either group. Between-group comparisons showed greater overall clinical gains in the study group despite similar exercise adherence rates. Conclusions: Supervised telerehabilitation enhances the effectiveness of home-based exercise programs in adolescents with mild AIS by improving postural alignment, reducing pain, and increasing functional capacity and quality of life. Telerehabilitation represents an accessible and efficient complementary strategy for managing AIS when in-person supervision is limited.  \nKeywords: adolescent idiopathic scoliosis; telerehabilitation; home-based exercise  \n1.
