Implication

Comparative study reveals the clinical utility of exercise, bracing, and electrical surface stimulation in idiopathic scoliosis, highlighting nonoperative strategies to halt curvature progression.

Key Points

Assess and compare the efficacy of therapeutic exercise, spinal bracing, and electrical surface stimulation in managing spinal curvature in idiopathic scoliosis.
Evaluated conservative management strategies encompassing structured physical exercise regimens, external spinal bracing, and surface electrical stimulation.
Monitored longitudinal progression of spinal curvature deformity and clinical stabilization across the intervention modalities.
Bracing demonstrated substantial capacity to arrest structural curve progression compared to observation alone in progressive idiopathic scoliosis.
Therapeutic exercise and electrical surface stimulation offered variable degrees of curve stabilization as adjunct or alternative nonoperative modalities.
