Background: Among the conservative treatments for rehabilitation of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), exercise therapy has attracted a large number of studies as its advantages of good clinical effect, high operability, high compliance, few side effects and low cost. We conduct a bibliometric analysis of previous research to identify prevalent areas of study and inform research for the future directions in this paper.
Methods: Relevant publications and reviews were collected using the Science Citation Index Expanded from the Web of Science Core Collection. Information from the included studies was analyzed systematically using VOSviewer and Citespace software to identify patterns regarding publications, keywords, authors, citations, countries, institutions and journals.
Results: A total of 172 articles published from 1999 to 2023 were identified. Over the last decade, the number of publications has gradually increased, reaching a peak of 21 publications in 2021. China, North America and Western European countries and institutions are leading the way as far as the quantity of publications and the total number of citations are concerned. The current areas of focus are the efficacy of exercise therapy in relation to enhancing the quality of life of adolescents during rehabilitation.
Conclusions: This is the first bibliometric analysis that provides a comprehensive review of the research trends and advances in exercise therapy for the rehabilitation of AIS. The study identifies latest research frontiers and hot directions, providing a valuable reference for scholars in the field of exercise therapy.

Purpose: Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at risk for therapy-related late effects. Physical activity (PA) can minimize some late effects risk, but rates of PA are low in CCS. We aimed to determine how perception of survivor health status and presence of chronic conditions are associated with patient- or proxy-reported PA.

Exercise intolerance, chronic cough, and hyperpnea are the clinical hallmarks of equine asthma. Diagnosis of severe equine asthma in horses is multistep; determination of the phenotype will help guide future recommendations. Management of equine asthma is largely reduction/elimination of triggering agents/conditions.

Background: Research suggest that mind-body movement programs have beneficial effects on cognitive outcomes for older adults with cognitive decline. However, few studies have directly compared specific approaches to mind-body movement or studied the impact of remote program delivery.
Methods: In a 3-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) for older adults with cognitive impairment, we are comparing a multidomain mind-body program that emphasizes movement, body awareness, personal meaningfulness, and social connection, and a traditional Chinese mind-body exercise (Tai Chi) to a health and wellness education control condition.
