Abstract Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes scoliosis as a musculoskeletal disorder leading to postural imbalances, compromised pulmonary function, and long-term disability. Pediatric idiopathic scoliosis is less commonly seen, specifically referring to cases that develop in children and adolescents during periods of rapid growth. The Schroth Method incorporates three-dimensional postural correction, targeted breathing techniques, and muscular rebalancing to counteract spinal deformities.
Objective: To review the Current evidence on the Schroth Method as a Conservative Management Strategy for Pediatric Idiopathic Scoliosis
Methodology: The review was carried out in 5 phases that included comprehensive, systematic data extraction, where n=450, and based on PRISMA guidelines, CASP>9, n=11 articles were reviewed for the result analysis.
Result: The review encompassing 11 studies indicates that the Schroth method effectively improves posture, trunk symmetry, and balance in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The Schroth-based physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises (PSSEs) focus on improvement in functional out-comes such as respiratory efficiency, sensorimotor control.
Conclusion: An early intervention with Schroth exercises in the paediatric population can aid in the reduction of brace dependency and surgical risk by overall improving quality of life.
