| Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis | Other: Specific spinal exercises for idiopathic scoliosis |
This is a behavioral observational study aimed at evaluating the impact that spinal exercises exert on memory of young people. Literature found out that a memory-experience difference exists between pleasant and unpleasant situations and young people are expected to capture memories more accurately when these, as voiced for instance by outcome measures of health-related quality of life, are at their worst- rather than at their best-perceived level.
In Literature there are not studies which investigate the relationships between the memory of spinal exercises as for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and health-related quality of life.
The study consists of a short self-administered questionnaire which will be given to young persons to complete. In more details, the survey is made of four questions collecting information on time to learn an exercise, time to perform an exercise, difficulty to do the exercise, commitment to perform the exercise. Further, participants will have to complete a self-administered health-related quality of life questionnaire, and namely the Scoliosis Research Society-22 patients questionnaire.
Descriptive statistics will be presented by taking into account the socio-demographic characteristics of the sample being investigated. Statistical correlations between adolescents' answers and health-related quality of life questionnaire will be also evaluated.
This study's usefulness relies on understanding which spinal exercises impact more on memory in order to increase a young persons' positive routines and improve their performance with rehabilitative programs, with the ultimate goal of growing their adherence to and satisfaction with treatment.

- Other: Specific spinal exercises for idiopathic scoliosis
The spinal esercises mainly include: active self-correction, strengthening spinal deep muscles while maintaining self-correction, segmentary stretching involving the limbs and back muscles, and postural task-oriented exercises (e.g. walking, standing, sitting).
- SRS-22 patient questionnaire [ Time Frame: At the moment of the assessment ]Scoliosis Research Society-22 patient questionnaire. The maximum score in each domain (pain, function, self-image, and mental health) is 5 and minimum score is 1, with higher scores representing greater individual's quality of life.
