Tele-rehabilitation for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis
Interest of Adapted Physical Activity by Tele-rehabilitation in Chronic Pathology - Application to Idiopathic Scoliosis in Adolescents
This study is testing whether a supervised online workout program can help teenagers with scoliosis feel better and improve their physical fitness compared to a self-directed exercise plan.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial compares two adapted physical activity treatments for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. One group will participate in a high-intensity interval training program supervised via tele-rehabilitation, while the control group will follow a self-directed exercise program. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions over a 12-week period, focusing on improving physical condition and quality of life. The trial addresses the challenges of engaging adolescents in physical activity, particularly in the context of scoliosis management.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are non-athletic adolescents aged 10 to 16 with a diagnosis of idiopathic scoliosis and specific radiographic criteria.
Not a fit: Patients who are actively engaged in regular physical activity or have severe scoliosis requiring surgical intervention may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance physical health and quality of life for adolescents suffering from idiopathic scoliosis.
How similar studies have performed: While there is a growing interest in tele-rehabilitation for various conditions, this specific approach for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
