TLDR
These Guidelines have been a big effort of SOSORT to paint the actual situation of CTIS, starting from the evidence, and filling all the gray areas using a scientific method, and it is possible to understand the lack of research in general on CTIS.Abstract:
The International Scientific Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT), that produced its first Guidelines in 2005, felt the need to revise them and increase their scientific quality. The aim is to offer to all professionals and their patients an evidence-based updated review of the actual evidence on conservative treatment of idiopathic scoliosis (CTIS). All types of professionals (specialty physicians, and allied health professionals) engaged in CTIS have been involved together with a methodologist and a patient representative. A review of all the relevant literature and of the existing Guidelines have been performed. Documents, recommendations, and practical approach flow charts have been developed according to a Delphi procedure. A methodological and practical review has been made, and a final Consensus Session was held during the 2011 Barcelona SOSORT Meeting. The contents of the document are: methodology; generalities on idiopathic scoliosis; approach to CTIS in different patients, with practical flow-charts; literature review and recommendations on assessment, bracing, physiotherapy, Physiotherapeutic Specific Exercises (PSE) and other CTIS. Sixty-five recommendations have been given, divided in the following topics: Bracing (20 recommendations), PSE to prevent scoliosis progression during growth (8), PSE during brace treatment and surgical therapy (5), Other conservative treatments (3), Respiratory function and exercises (3), Sports activities (6), Assessment (20). No recommendations reached a Strength of Evidence level I; 2 were level II; 7 level III; and 20 level IV; through the Consensus procedure 26 reached level V and 10 level VI. The Strength of Recommendations was Grade A for 13, B for 49 and C for 3; none had grade D. These Guidelines have been a big effort of SOSORT to paint the actual situation of CTIS, starting from the evidence, and filling all the gray areas using a scientific method. According to results, it is possible to understand the lack of research in general on CTIS. SOSORT invites researchers to join, and clinicians to develop good research strategies to allow in the future to support or refute these recommendations according to new and stronger evidence.read more

TL;DR: The 2016 SOSORT guidelines were developed based on the current evidence on CTIS and include a total of 68 recommendations divided into following topics: bracing, PSSE to prevent scoliosis progression during growth, other conservative treatments, respiratory function and exercises and assessment.

Braces for idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents
Stefano Negrini,Silvia Minozzi,Josette Bettany-Saltikov,Nachiappan Chockalingam,Theodoros B Grivas,Tomasz Kotwicki,Toru Maruyama,Michele Romano,Fabio Zaina +8 more
TL;DR: Evaluating the efficacy of bracing for adolescents with AIS versus no treatment or other treatments, on quality of life, disability, pulmonary disorders, progression of the curve, and psychological and cosmetic issues found low quality evidence of rigid bracing compared with observation.

The efficacy of three-dimensional Schroth exercises in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a randomised controlled clinical trial
TL;DR: The Schroth exercise program applied in the clinic under physiotherapist supervision was superior to the home exercise and control groups; additionally, it was observed that scoliosis progressed in the control group, which received no treatment.

Exercises for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

TL;DR: There is a lack of high quality evidence to recommend the use of SSE for AIS, and one very low quality study suggested that these exercises may be more effective than electrostimulation, traction and postural training to avoid scoliosis progression.

TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to understand and learn about the different international treatment methods so that physical therapists can incorporate the best from each into their own practices, and in that way attempt to improve the conservative management of patients with idiopathic scoliosis.
