Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to compare the spine joint reposition sense in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and healthy adolescents and to investigate whether there is a difference.

Conditions

Scoliosis; Adolescence; Healthy; Proprioception

Keywords

scoliosis; proprioception; spine

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluation of spine joint position reproduction

  Acumar™ Dual Inclinometer: The subjects will be asked to stay at the reference position for three seconds and then move to the upright position and then go back to the reference angle with their eyes closed. The absolute difference between the two positions in degrees will be noted as the reposition error value. The decrease in the reposition error value is considered as the improvement in the reposition sense.

  Baseline

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Spinal pain assessment

  Baseline

• Physical activity level

  Baseline

• Adam's Forward Bending Test

  Baseline

• Cobb angle assessment

  Baseline

• Flexicurve ruler

  Baseline

Study Arms (3)

Group 1

Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis who have 10⁰-24⁰ Cobb angles

Group 2

Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis who have 25⁰-40⁰ Cobb angles

Group 3

Healthy adolescents without scoliosis as controls

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 10 Years - 19 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Adolescents with a diagnosis of idiopathic scoliosis between the ages of 10-19, living in Istanbul and their healthy peers will be included in the study. The subjects will be divided into 3 groups: Group 1: Subjects with AIS with 10⁰-24⁰ Cobb angle, Group 2: Subjects with AIS with 25⁰-40⁰ Cobb angle, Group 3: Healthy adolescents in the same age group (control group).

You may qualify if:

• Being between the ages of 10 and 19 years
• Having a Cobb angle of 10-40 degrees measured on the anteroposterior radiograph or a healthy spine alignment (Forward Bend Test \< 5⁰ (negative) and Flexicurve Kyphosis Index ≤13)
• No previous conservative approach to scoliosis
• Volunteer to participate in the study

You may not qualify if:

• Concomitant mental problem, rheumatological, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, pulmonary history
• Any orthopedic disability or severe pain that would preclude evaluations
• Musculoskeletal injury related to the spine in the last 3 months
• Having had spine surgery
• Presence of tumor in the spine
• Loss of vision and/or hearing/presence of vestibular problems
