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.
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.
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.
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.
在青少年特发性脊柱侧凸（AIS）康复的保守治疗中，运动疗法因其临床效果好、可操作性强、依从性高、副作用少且成本低等优点而吸引了大量研究。本文对以往的研究进行文献计量分析，以确定研究的热点领域，并为未来的研究方向提供参考。
使用科学网核心合集的《科学引文索引扩展版》收集相关出版物和综述。使用VOSviewer和Citespace软件对纳入研究的信息进行系统分析，以确定关于出版物、关键词、作者、引文、国家、机构和期刊的模式。
共识别出1999年至2023年发表的172篇文章。在过去十年中，出版物数量逐渐增加，在2021年达到21篇的峰值。就出版物数量和总被引次数而言，中国、北美以及西欧国家和机构处于领先地位。当前的重点研究领域是运动疗法在提高青少年康复期间生活质量方面的疗效。
这是首次对AIS康复运动疗法的研究趋势和进展进行全面综述的文献计量分析。该研究确定了最新的研究前沿和热点方向，为运动疗法领域的学者提供了有价值的参考。
