Brief summary

Today, while the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on human health continue to increase, both healthy individuals and individuals with chronic diseases continue to be adversely affected by this process, both psychologically and/or physically, due to the increasing number of cases and the increase in restriction measures. Fear of contracting COVID-19, kinesiophobia, exercise capacity, dyspnea, pain and quality of life, and relationships between these parameters in individuals with scoliosis during the COVID-19 pandemic is still unknown today. Therefore, in our study, we aimed to investigate fear of COVID-19, kinesiophobia, number of steps, pain, dyspnea and quality of life and the relationship between these parameters in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interventions

In this study, it was planned to investigate the fear of contracting COVID-19, levels of kinesiophobia, daily number of steps, pain and dyspnea perception, and quality of life in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis. Evaluation of fear of contracting COVID-19, levels of kinesiophobia, daily number of steps, pain and dyspnea perception, and quality of life will be completed within a maximum of one hour at the hospital clinic. Number of steps will be followed-up during 3 days.
