Özet
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of 3D scoliosis exercise training delivered via telerehabilitation on pain, function, and disability in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis during the COVID-19 lockdown. Method: This study was conducted between April 2020 and October 2020 during the pandemic period. The effects of face-to-face exercises before the pandemic and continued exercises via telerehabilitation during the pandemic on overall health, mental well-being, pain, and physical condition were evaluated. Forty-four participants with scoliosis (27 females, 17 males) participated in a 12-week 3D scoliosis exercise program led by an experienced physiotherapist. Assessments were conducted online using SRS-22, SF-36, and ODI scales before and after social isolation. Results: The mean age of the sample was determined to be 14.77±2.38 years. The mean SRS-22 Pain scores before and after the lockdown were 22.11±2.45 and 22.18±2.54, respectively. However, no significant differences were found between the two assessments in terms of SRS-22, SF-36, and ODI scores. Conclusion: Telerehabilitation-based 3D scoliosis exercises may help maintain pain, function, and disability levels in adolescents with scoliosis during lockdowns. Regular home exercise programs are recommended when face-to-face therapy is unavailable. Future research should explore simulation-based training to enhance effectiveness.
