    Input: Objectives : Physiotherapy programmes so far mainly address the lateral deformity of scoliosis , a few aim at the correction of rotation and only very few address the sagittal profile . Meanwhile , there is evidence that correction forces applied in the sagittal plane are also able to correct the scoliotic deformity in the coronal and frontal planes . So it should be possible to improve excellence in scoliosis rehabilitation by the implementation of exercises to correct the sagittal deformity in scoliosis patients . An exercise programme ( physio-logic ® exercises ) aim ing at a physiologic sagittal profile was developed to add to the programme applied at the centre or to replace certain exercises or exercising positions . Material and methods : To test the hypothesis that physio-logic ® exercises improve the outcome of Scoliosis Intensive Rehabilitation ( SIR ) , the following study design was chosen : Prospect i ve controlled trial of pairs of patients with idiopathic scoliosis matched by sex , age , Cobb angle and curve pattern . There were 18 patients in the treatment group ( SIR + physio-logic ® exercises ) and 18 patients in the control group ( SIR only ) , all in matched pairs . Average Cobb angle in the treatment group was 34.5 ° ( SD 7.8 ) Cobb angle in the control group was 31.6 ° ( SD 5.8 ) . Age in the treatment group was at average 15.3 years ( SD 1.1 ) and in the control group 14.7 years ( SD 1.3 ) . Thirteen of the 18 patients in either group had a brace . Outcome parameter : average lateral deviation ( mm ) , average surface rotation ( ° ) and maximum Kyphosis angle ( ° ) as evaluated with the help of surface topography ( Formetric ® -system ) . Results : Lateral deviation ( mm ) decreased significantly after the performance of the physio-logic ® programme and highly significantly in the physio-logic ® ADL posture ; however , it was not significant after completion of the whole rehabilitation programme ( 2.3 vs 0.3 mm in the controls ) . Surface rotation improved at average 1.2 ° in the treatment group and 0.8 ° in the controls while Kyphosis angle did not improve in both groups . Discussion : The physio-logic ® programme has to be regarded as a useful ‘ add on ’ to Scoliosis Rehabilitation with regards to the lateral deviation of the scoliotic trunk . A longitudinal controlled study is necessary to evaluate the long-term effect of the the physio-logic ® programme also with the help of X-rays UNLABELLED The Lyon school has proposed a preparation to brace wearing through an intensive mobilization in order to obtain a better reduction of the braced scoliotic curve . Our aim was to verify this hypothesis . DESIGN A prospect i ve controlled study on consecutive patients having idiopathic scoliosis with brace management . OUTCOME Results after 5 months of brace wearing were review ed by radiographic examination without the brace . TREATMENT SEAS Group exercises according to the protocol SEAS.02 ( Scientific Exercises Approach to Scoliosis , version 2002 ) ; CONT Group various type of exercises . Population . 110 patients ( 34 females ) , 13.5+/-2.4 years , 31.1 degrees + /-11.1 degrees Cobb ( degrees C ) , 14.4 degrees + /-6.0 degrees Bunnell ( degrees B ) . All parameters improved at follow-up in both groups . SEAS had better results than CONT for degrees C. Clinical results ( variations of at least 5 degrees C and 2 degrees B ) were better in SEAS than CONT . This study proves the efficacy of SEAS.02 exercises preparatory for bracing . Bracing demonstrated its short term efficacy The goal of this study is to test the hypothesis that physiotherapy-based intervention can reduce incidence of progression in children with IS . Two independent patient groups matched by age and sex at diagnosis were analysed using the outcome parameter , incidence of progression ( S 5 ° ) . One group was untreated and the other received  scoliosis in-patient rehabilitation ( SIR )  . Incidence of progression in groups of untreated patients ranged from 1.5-fold ( 71.2 % vs 46.7 % ) to 2.9-fold ( 55.8 % vs 19.2 % ) higher than in groups of patients treated with SIR , even when SIR-treated groups included patients with more severe curvatures . Statistically , the differences were highly significant . Efforts to test the hypothesis that physical therapies addressing postural imbalance can be used effectively in the treatment of IS have been limited . The results of this study are consistent with the possibility that a supervized programme of exercise-based therapies can reduce incidence of progression in children with IS In a prospect i ve study by the Scoliosis Research Society , 286 girls who had adolescent idiopathic scoliosis , a thoracic or thoracolumbar curve of 25 to 35 degrees , and a mean age of twelve years and seven months ( range , ten to fifteen years ) were followed to determine the effect of treatment with observation only ( 129 patients ) , an underarm plastic brace ( 111 patients ) , and nighttime surface electrical stimulation ( forty-six patients ) . Thirty-nine patients were lost to follow-up , leaving 247 ( 86 per cent ) who were followed until maturity or who were dropped from the study because of failure of the assigned treatment . The end point of failure of treatment was defined as an increase in the curve of at least 6 degrees , from the time of the first roentgenogram , on two consecutive roentgenograms . As determined with use of this end point , treatment with a brace failed in seventeen of the 111 patients ; observation only , in fifty-eight of the 129 patients ; and electrical stimulation , in twenty-two of the forty-six patients . According to survivorship analysis , treatment with a brace was associated with a success rate of 74 per cent ( 95 per cent confidence interval , 52 to 84 ) at four years ; observation only , with a success rate of 34 per cent ( 95 per cent confidence interval , 16 to 49 ) ; and electrical stimulation , with a success rate of 33 per cent ( 95 per cent confidence interval , 12 to 60 ) . ( ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS UNLABELLED A new ADL ( Activities of Daily Living ) approach in scoliosis rehabilitation has been design ed . The ADL approach uses Side-Shift , physiologic(R ) , 3D-ADL exercises and Schroth exercises according to current st and ard . It was compared to an exercise based scoliosis rehabilitation that mainly uses Schroth exercises and as an add-on the training of ADL . The ADL approach in practice seems to be easier to teach and the treatment needs fewer theoretical modules leading to a better time-efficiency . Aim of this study was to test whether the gain in time-efficiency is at the loss of outcome . MATERIAL S AND METHODS We studied 13 patients having had a 2 weeks ADL based rehabilitation ( ABR ) and compared their clinical outcome parameters ( surface topograhy & Scoliometer angle ) to a group of 13 diagnosis- , age- , sex- , Cobb-angle and curve pattern-matched controls having a 4 weeks programme of exercise based rehabilitation ( EBR ) only . Average age in the study group was 15 years and average Cobb-angle 39 degrees . RESULTS Lateral deviation in the study group already after 2 weeks of  ABR  decreased 2 mm ( Formetric ) . Lateral deviation in the control group ( EBR ) decreased 1,9 mm . The changes were not significant . Thoracic as well as lumbar Scoliometer angle decreased highly significantly in both groups ( ABR : 1,8 degrees thoracic , 2,3 degrees lumbar ; EBR : 2,1 degrees thoracic , 2,6 degrees lumbar ) . The differences of outcome between the two groups were not significant . CONCLUSIONS ABR ( 2-week programme ) seems to provide similar results as EBR ( 4-week programme ) . ABR seems to provide a better time efficiency , however a prospect i ve controlled study with a larger sample of patients is desirable before final conclusions can be drawn Current work presents the results of spirometric examinations in 124 children aged 5 to 16 years ( mean age 12.1 years ) suffering from idiopathic scoliosis . Children were treated according to asymmetric respiratory exercises method applied in period of 24 days . Healthy children living in Upper Silesia industrial region were the control group . Examined scoliotic group was characterized by generally mild lung function impairment , although the values of spirometric indexes tended to deplete with time of duration and severity of the scoliosis . Especially the tendency of the forced expiratory volume in first second ( FEV1 ) decrease was apparent , as well as maximal expiratory flows MEF50 and MEF25 , in conjunction with Cobb angle increase . Slight but evident increase of forced vital capacity ( FVC ) and FEV1 was observed as a result of rehabilitation utilizing asymmetric respiratory exercises method 
    Output:
    
Exercises were also shown to be effective in reducing brace prescription .
This study ( like the previously published systematic review s ) showed that PEs can improve the Cobb angles of individuals with AIS and can improve strength , mobility , and balance .
