Scoliosis Idiopathic, Vestibular Function Disorder, Visuospatial/Perceptual Abilities
Conditions
Brief summary
This study was planned to investigate whether there is a visual-spatial perception disorder in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis and also to reveal its dependent/independent relationship with vestibular dysfunction.
Detailed description
Vestibular dysfunction is thought to be associated with the etiology of patients with idiopathic scoliosis. However, there is limited data on this in the literature. However, visuospatial ability has been evaluated in the literature regarding vestibular dysfunction independent of scoliosis. In the study, it was first requested to investigate vestibular dysfunction in patients with scoliosis. However, as far as is known, there is no study in the literature on visuospatial perception investigated for vestibular dysfunction in patients with scoliosis. This study was planned to investigate whether there is a disorder related to visuospatial perception and to reveal its dependent/independent relationship with vestibular dysfunction. Based on the studies, it is planned to evaluate visuospatial (visual-spatial) perception performance in the presence/absence of vestibular dysfunction in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis. The hypothesis of the study is that vestibular function and related visual-spatial perception may be affected in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis.
Interventions
OTHERBalance assessment
Romberg test and one-leg standing test will be used.
OTHERUnterberger test
During 50 steps, he will count in place with 45 degrees of hip flexion, and after 50 steps, the angle of rotation between the first position and the final position of the right foot will be measured with the help of a goniometer and the displacement distance.
OTHERCorsi Block Tapping (mobıl app)
Spatial memory will be evaluated.
OTHERNavigation performance
Two triangles (one equilateral, one oblique triangle, at 30°, 60° and 90° angles respectively) with route segment lengths between 150 and 300 cm will be marked on the floor and the participants will be asked to complete the task with their eyes closed. The final deviation amount will be recorded.
It will be evaluated with the help of X-ray.
OTHERScolio Detector (mobıl app)
The degree of rotation will be measured with the mobile application called Scolio Detector.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of vestibular dysfunction-1 | 10 month | Unterberger test will be used. Subjects will close their eyes and measure displacement in 50 steps with their shoulders flexed 90 degrees and arms extended forward. |
| Visual spatial perception | 10 month | The mobile application score called Corsi Block Tapping will be recorded. |
| Evaluation of vestibular dysfunction-2 | 10 month | Unterberger test will be used. Subjects will close their eyes and with their shoulders flexed 90 degrees and arms extended forward, the amount of rotation in 50 steps will be measured as an angle. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Balance assessment-1 | 10 month | Romberg test will be used. Romberg test will be recorded as (+/-) according to the individual standing with eyes closed for 30 seconds. |
| Balance assessment-2 | 10 month | One-leg standing test will be used. The time to stand on one foot will be recorded in seconds with eyes open/closed and on hard/soft ground. |
| Navigasyon performansında | 10 month | Two triangles (one equilateral, one oblique triangle, at 30°, 60° and 90° angles respectively) with tracktrack lengths between 150 and 300 cm will be marked on the floor and the participants will be asked to complete the task with their eyes closed. The final deviation amount will be recorded. |
| Quality of life assessment | 10 month | The SRS-22r is a patient-reported outcome instrument and has a range from 1 (worst) to 5 (best). It contains 22 questions covering five domains: function, pain, self-image, mental health (each with 5 items), and satisfaction with treatment (2 items) and each item is scored from 1 to 5. |
