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.

Conditions

Scoliosis Idiopathic; Vestibular Function Disorder; Visuospatial/Perceptual Abilities

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Evaluation of vestibular dysfunction-1

  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.

  10 month

• Visual spatial perception

  The mobile application score called Corsi Block Tapping will be recorded.

  10 month

• Evaluation of vestibular dysfunction-2

  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.

  10 month

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Balance assessment-1

  10 month

• Navigasyon performansında

  10 month

• Quality of life assessment

  10 month

• Balance assessment-2

  10 month

Study Arms (2)

Patient group

Romberg test and single leg standing test will be used in balance assessment. The presence of vestibular dysfunction will be evaluated with the Utenberger test. Under the name of visual-spatial perception, spatial memory will be evaluated with the mobile application called Corsi Block Tapping, and navigation performance will be evaluated with the triangle completion task. In addition, X-ray images taken during routine follow-ups will be used to determine the location, type of curvature and Cobb angle of the scoliosis. The degree of rotation will be measured with a mobile application called Scoliodetector. Quality of life is planned to be evaluated with the Scoliosis Research Society-22 questionnaire.

Other: Balance assessment; Other: Unterberger test; Other: Corsi Block Tapping (mobıl app); Other: Navigation performance; Other: Cobb angle measurement; Other: Scolio Detector (mobıl app)

Control group

Romberg test and single leg standing test will be used in balance assessment. The presence of vestibular dysfunction will be evaluated with the Utenberger test. Under the name of visual-spatial perception, spatial memory will be evaluated with the mobile application called Corsi Block Tapping, and navigation performance will be evaluated with the triangle completion task.

Other: Balance assessment; Other: Unterberger test; Other: Corsi Block Tapping (mobıl app); Other: Navigation performance

Interventions

Balance assessment OTHER

Romberg test and one-leg standing test will be used.

Control group; Patient group

Unterberger test OTHER

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.

Control group; Patient group

Corsi Block Tapping (mobıl app) OTHER

Spatial memory will be evaluated.

Control group; Patient group

Navigation performance OTHER

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.

Control group; Patient group

Cobb angle measurement OTHER

It will be evaluated with the help of X-ray.

Patient group

Scolio Detector (mobıl app) OTHER

The degree of rotation will be measured with the mobile application called Scolio Detector.

Patient group
