Brief Summary
The goal of this randomised clinical trial is to evaluate whether adding Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) to scoliosis-specific exercises can improve body awareness, quality of life and scoliosis-speficic outcomes in adolescents aged 10-17 years with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the addition of BBAT to scoliosis-specific exercises lead to greater improvements in body awareness compared to scoliosis-specific exercises alone? Does adding BBAT improve trunk proprioception, scoliosis-related parameters, and health-related quality of life in adolescents with AIS? H1: Adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis who receive Basic Body Awareness Therapy in addition to scoliosis-specific exercises will demonstrate greater improvements in body awareness compared to those receiving scoliosis-specific exercises alone. H2: Adolescents receiving Basic Body Awareness Therapy in addition to scoliosis-specific exercises will demonstrate greater improvements in scoliosis-related clinical parameters compared to those receiving scoliosis-specific exercises alone. H3: Adolescents receiving Basic Body Awareness Therapy in addition to scoliosis-specific exercises will demonstrate greater improvements in both general and scoliosis-specific quality of life compared to those receiving scoliosis-specific exercises alone.
