Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate scoliosis and postural deformities in secondary school students in Famagusta region. Secondary school students who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study, which will be conducted in the form of screening in public and private schools in the Famagusta region of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Sociodemographic information of the individuals will be obtained first. Then, Adam's forward bending test, trunk rotation angle with scoliometer, foot posture index and New York posture index will be evaluated. Evaluations will be made within a single day.
