Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The amount of Cobb angle in the spine. Timepoint: This variable is measured in two sessions. The first time, the measurement is done in the pre-test stage (before the intervention). Then we ask the person to use braces and exercises for three months. After three months, the relevant variable is measured for the second time in the post-test phase. Method of measurement: To measure the angle of the cobb, the patient's spine with anterior-posterior view is used while standing in a normal position. The calculation is done manually with the help of a pencil and a conveyor. Cobb angle is the angle created between two lines perpendicular to the upper plateau of the upper vertebra of the scoliotic deviation and the line perpendicular to the lower plateau of the lower vertebra of the scoliotic deviation. On the other hand, because the intersection point is often somewhere off the page, an alternative method is used. Draw a right perpendicular to the two tangent lines and the angle created by the intersection of the two perpendicular lines is the angle of the cobb.;Evaluation of pulmonary function. Timepoint: This variable is measured in two sessions. The first time, the measurement is done in the pre-test stage (before the intervention). Then we ask the person to use braces and exercises for three months. After three months, the relevant variable is measured for the second time in the post-test phase. Method of measurement: Pulmonary function will be assessed by spirometry test using a Japanese CHESTGRAPH HI-301 digital spirometer. After giving personal information to the device and calibrating it, the tests of Total Lung Capacity, Vital Capacity, Forced Vital Capacity, Vital Capacity Inspiratory , Vital Capacity Expiratory, Peak Expiratory Flow and Forced Expiratory Volume In One Second , respectively. This test is performed while sitting on a chair and the patient is asked to remove the brace at least 2 hours before the test. To measure spirometric Indicators, a person i | — |
