Scoliosis Idiopathic
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the acute effect of activities of daily living on trunk rotation in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Detailed description
Patients with AIS who applied to Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department will be included in this study. Individuals diagnosed with AIS, whose Cobb angle is between 20º -50º, who do not have any chronic diseases that require neurological or psychiatric medication, and who volunteer to participate in the study will be included. Individuals with any contraindications for exercise, previous spine surgery, thoracic apex curvature of 6 or more, mental problems, non-idiopathic scoliosis but with different causes will be excluded from the study. To determine the demographic characteristics of the participants, age, gender, weight, height, presence of chronic disease, age at first diagnosis, exercise habits, treatments, and brace use will be questioned. The ATR will be used to measure degrees of trunk rotation to monitor the effects of treatment without radiographic evaluation. On the first day, the demographic characteristics of the participants will be questioned, Cobb angles, Risser findings, and ATR degrees will be recorded. After the first day, all postural activities and measurements will be taken on different days (at least three days apart) not to affect the degrees of trunk rotation in patients with AIS.

Inclusion criteria
* Being diagnosed with AIS between the ages of 10-35 * Cobb angle between 20º -50º, * To be able to continue the program to be applied, * Not having a chronic disease that requires the use of any neurological or psychiatric medication, * The willingness of parents and/or patients to participate in the study.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Angle of trunk rotation (ATR) | Change from Baseline angle of trunk rotation at 5 minutes | ATR can be used to monitor the effects of treatment without radiographic evaluation. ATR measurement is done using a special inclinometer called a scoliometer. The patient is asked to lean forward with the arms relaxed. The scoliometer is placed posteriorly and the degree observed at the point of greatest gimbosity is recorded. |
| Demographic Characteristics | Baseline | Within the scope of the demographic information form, participants' age, gender, weight, height, presence of chronic diseases, age at which they were first diagnosed, exercise habits, treatments received, brace use will be questioned. |
