Effectiveness of scoliosis-specific exercises for alleviating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a systematic review

摘要

This systematic review replicated the search strategy adopted by the Cochrane Review from January 1, 2010 to February 29, 2020 in the following six databases: PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, CINAHL, and Google Scholar (Fig. 1). Key search items consisted of “AIS”, or “idiopathic scoliosis”, and “exercise”, or “scoliosis specific exercise”, or “physiotherapy”, or “Schroth”, or “SEAS”, or “DoboMed, or “Side-shift” or “FITs” or “randomi*” or “placebo” or “control*”. These included subject headings, text words, methodological terms, disorder terms, and treatment terms, and all are listed in full in the search strategy in Additional file 1. This review protocol was registered on the INPLASY.COM with registration number INPLASY202050100. Searched results from each database were cross-checked by two independent researchers. Potentially relevant abstracts were screened based on the inclusion criteria, and full-text articles were obtained for eligible results. The two researchers discussed any disagreements regarding accepting full-text articles until consensus was achieved.
