Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of various corrective and preventive programs on scoliosis, one of the most common postural disorders in children and young people. Electronic databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, MEDLINE, ERIC and Google Scholar were used in the literature review. Based on predefined criteria, ten studies that met quality standards were analyzed. The results of the study indicate that preventive programs that include specialized exercises, corrective gymnastics and individually tailored interventions significantly contribute to reducing the angle of spinal curvature and improving postural condition. It has also been shown that regular application of such programs has a positive effect on the functional abilities and psychophysical health of participants. Future research should focus on the long-term effects of preventive programs, including their application in different age groups and degrees of scoliosis. It is also recommended to examine the effectiveness of programs that combine corrective exercises with modern technological solutions, such as posture monitoring sensors and virtual reality. In addition, it is important to expand the samples to populations from different settings so that the results can be generalized and applied in a broader context.
