Abstract
BACKGROUND: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition affecting approximately 2-3% of the adolescent population. Although exercise-based therapeutic interventions are increasingly employed as non-surgical alternatives, their clinical and economic effectiveness remains underexplored in real-world settings. Recent advancements in active learning (AL) and machine learning (ML) techniques offer the potential to optimize treatment protocols by uncovering hidden predictors and enhancing model efficiency.
