What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess how spinal exercises affect the memory of adolescents diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis. Participants will complete a short self-administered questionnaire that evaluates their experiences with the exercises, including learning time, performance time, difficulty, and commitment. Additionally, they will fill out a health-related quality of life questionnaire to explore correlations between their exercise experiences and overall well-being. The study seeks to identify which specific spinal exercises may have a more significant impact on memory and quality of life.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adolescents diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis who can read and understand Italian.
Not a fit: Patients with other causes of scoliosis, significant leg-length discrepancies, or cognitive impairments may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into how spinal exercises can enhance memory and overall quality of life for adolescents with scoliosis.
How similar studies have performed: There are currently no known studies investigating the relationship between spinal exercises and memory in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis, making this approach novel.
