Brief summary
It has been observed that there are insufficient studies on whether the conservative treatment of AIS with Chêneau spinal orthosis provides 3D correction on the scoliotic curve and its effect on the spine and lower extremity parameters. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Chêneau spinal orthosis application on sagittal and frontal parameters at 3 and 6 months follow-up in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Detailed description
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine that is commonly seen in individuals aged 10-18 years, and spinal orthosis application, one of the conservative treatment methods, is widely preferred today. Lyon, Milwaukee, Gensingen, Boston and Rigo System Chêneau spinal orthoses are among the most frequently preferred today. Rigo system Chêneau (RCS) spinal orthosis aims to correct scoliosis in 3D in sagittal, transverse and coronal planes. Studies have indicated that spinal orthosis application may have limited corrective effect on sagittal and transverse planes scoliotic curvature. In order to obtain the most effective result in spinal orthosis application, it is important to fully understand the connection mechanisms between different planes and their relationship with the lower extremity. It has been observed that studies on whether conservative treatment of spinal orthosis in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) can provide 3D correction on the scoliotic curve and its effect on spine and lower extremity parameters are insufficient. AIS individuals who will undergo Chêneau type spinal orthosis application that meets the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Demographic information of the participants will be obtained with a patient information form and a scoliosis assessment form. Radiographs are planned to be obtained using an EOS (EOS-imaging®, Paris, France) imaging device, which is a low-dose imaging device that provides simultaneous anterior-posterior and lateral views while standing. Spine and lower extremity parameters will be evaluated from the obtained images. Plantar pressure and balance assessment is planned to be performed with a DIERS Pedoscan device connected to the DIERS Formetric system. SRS-22 (Scoliosis Research Society-22) questionnaire is planned to be used in the assessment of the quality of life of the individuals. Brace Questionnaire is planned to be used in the assessment of spinal orthosis satisfaction. All data will be evaluated by statistical analysis methods.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Spine Rotation Measurement | Change from Baseline of treatment at 3 and 6 months | Trunk Rotation Measurement: Scoliometer; is used during the person's "Adam's Forward Bend Test" to determine the trunk rotation angle. |
| EOS-imaging® | Change from Baseline of treatment at 3 and 6 months | Radiographs were planned to be obtained using an EOS (EOS-imaging®, Paris, France) imaging device, which is a low-dose imaging device that provides simultaneous anterior-posterior and lateral views in the standing position. Spine and lower extremity parameters will be evaluated from the obtained image. Spine parameters; cervical lordosis ( C1C3, C2C6, C3C7), pelvic oblique, pelvic coronal obliquity angle, thoracolumbar kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt, sacral slope, sagittal vertical angle, coronal vertical angle will be evaluated. Lower Extremity Parameters; hip-knee-ankle angle, medial proximal femoral angle, mechanical lateral distal femoral angle, medial proximal tibial angle, lateral distal tibial angle, lower extremity length, femur length, tibia length, recurvation angle of the knee joint will be measured. |
| DIERS Formetric Pedoscan | Change from Baseline of treatment at 3 and 6 months | Plantar Pressure and Balance Assessment It is planned to be performed with the DIERS Pedoscan device connected to the DIERS Formetric system in plantar pressure and balance assessment. DIERS Pedoscan allows the assessment of foot pressure distribution while standing. It is preferred for measuring plantar pressure changes during the individual's bipedal static stance and walking. There are static, dynamic, postural balance analysis methods in pedobarographic assessment. Numerical data is obtained for foot analysis with these methods. |
| Scoliosis Research Society (SRS-22 test) | Change from Baseline of treatment at 3 and 6 months | assessment of quality of life SRS-22 is a scale used to assess the quality of life in individuals with spinal deformity. |
| Brace Questionnaire (BrQ) | Change from Baseline of treatment at 3 and 6 months | Evaluation of Spinal Orthosis Satisfaction Brace Questionnaire (BrQ) is a questionnaire used to measure the effect of brace treatment on quality of life in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. |
