• Study Type: observational
• Target: 38

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.

Conditions

Scoliosis Idiopathic

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Angle of trunk rotation (ATR)

  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.

  Change from Baseline angle of trunk rotation at 5 minutes

• Demographic Characteristics

  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.

  Baseline

Study Arms (1)

Patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Patients with AIS applying 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 disease requiring neurological or psychiatric medication, and who volunteered to participate in the study will be included. Individuals with any contraindications for exercise, previous spinal surgery, 6 or more curvature of the thoracic apex, mental problems, non-idiopathic scoliosis but with different causes will be excluded from the study.

Behavioral: Corrected Sitting postures; Behavioral: Natural / relaxed sitting postures; Behavioral: Corrected Standing posture; Behavioral: Natural / relaxed standing postures
