This study aims to investigate the effects of a core stabilization-based rehabilitation program following adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery on radiological parameters, pain, upper extremity function, range of motion, and scapular assessment. Participants diagnosed with AIS and treated with posterior spinal fusion surgery will undergo a rehabilitation program based on core stabilization exercises. Outcome measures will include Cobb angle, vertebral rotation, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), QuickDASH, Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS), SRS-22, cervical and shoulder range of motion, and scapular assessment tests. Assessments will be conducted before and after the rehabilitation program.
This study is designed to investigate the effects of a core stabilization-based rehabilitation program following adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery on radiological, functional, and scapular parameters. Individuals diagnosed with AIS and treated with posterior spinal fusion surgery will be recruited for participation.
Radiological assessment will include thoracic and lumbar Cobb angles and vertebral rotation measurements. Clinical assessments will include the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, QuickDASH for upper extremity function, Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS) for body image perception, and SRS-22 for health-related quality of life. Cervical and shoulder range of motion will also be evaluated.
Scapular assessment will include the Lateral Scapular Slide Test (LSST), Scapular Assistance Test (SAT), and wall push-up test. The study aims to evaluate changes in scapular asymmetry, scapular control, and scapulothoracic mechanics following the rehabilitation program.
Assessments will be performed before and after the intervention to examine potential changes in radiological, functional, and scapular outcomes.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core Stabilization Rehabilitation Group | Experimental | Participants received a core stabilization-based rehabilitation program after adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery. The program included core stabilization, postural control, and scapular stabilization exercises |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core Stabilization-Based Rehabilitation Program | Behavioral | Participants received a core stabilization-based rehabilitation program following adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery. The rehabilitation program included core stabilization exercises, postural control training, scapular stabilization exercises, and functional exercise approaches. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Scapular Assessment | Scapular control and asymmetry were evaluated using the Lateral Scapular Slide Test (LSST), Scapular Assistance Test (SAT), and wall push-up test. LSST measures scapular asymmetry by assessing the distance between the scapula and spinal landmarks at different arm positions. Greater side-to-side differences indicate increased scapular asymmetry. SAT evaluates improvement in symptoms and scapular motion during assisted scapular upward rotation. The wall push-up test was used to assess scapular winging and scapular stability. | 10 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | Pain intensity was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The scale ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Lower scores indicate reduced pain intensity. | 10 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| QuickDASH Score | Upper extremity function was assessed using the QuickDASH questionnaire. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disability and poorer upper extremity function. Lower scores indicate functional improvement. | 10 weeks |
| TAPS Score |

Body image perception was evaluated using the Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS). Scores range from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating better perception of trunk appearance and lower deformity perception. |
| 10 weeks |
| SRS-22 Quality of Life Score | Quality of life was assessed using the Scoliosis Research Society-22 questionnaire (SRS-22). The questionnaire evaluates pain, self-image, function, mental health, and satisfaction. Higher scores indicate better quality of life. | 10 weeks |
| Range of Motion | Cervical and shoulder range of motion measurements were evaluated using goniometric assessment. Higher values indicate greater joint mobility and flexibility. | 10 weeks |
| Radiological Parameters | Vertebral rotation measurements were evaluated radiologically. Lower rotation values indicate reduced spinal deformity. | 10 weeks |
