Trunk rotation and distortion of the rib cage, which are common in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, result in abnormal configuration of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. This reduces the capacity of the respiratory muscles to produce force, and results in respiratory muscle weakness. The diaphragm, which is the major respiratory muscle, is also a component of the core muscles responsible for postural stability. Therefore, diaphragm muscle weakness results in deterioration of postural stability. Our aim in this study is to investigate the effect of inspiratory muscle training added to the routine scoliosis exercise program on postural stability and posture perception.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control Group | Active Comparator | Patients in this group will receive conventional scoliosis exercise program for 1 hour, 6 days a week for 8 weeks. One exercise session will be supervised in a clinic per week, other sessions will be performed at home. |
|
| Training Group | Experimental | In addition to the conventional scoliosis exercise program, patients in this group will also receive inspiratory muscle training for 15 minutes, twice a day, 6 days a week for 8 weeks. One exercise session will be supervised in a clinic per week, other sessions will be performed at home. |

| Change from baseline "Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale" at 8 weeks | Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale evaluates posture perception. It consists of a visual test including seven items that deal with various aspects of the deformity. Each question has a set of five figures that represent degrees of severity of the deformity: spinal deformity, rib prominence, lumbar prominence, thoracic deformity, trunk imbalance, shoulder asymmetry and scapular asymmetry. |
