Brief Summary

The vertebral column is a structure that transfers the weight of the head and torso to the lower extremity, provides trunk movements and protects the spinal cord.A three dimensional deformity involving lateral flexion of the vertebrae in the frontal plane at 10 ° and above, including axial rotation and physiologic flexion (hypokyphosis) components in the sagittal plane, is defined as scoliosis. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a type of idiopathic scoliosis that occurs in the period from the onset of puberty (up to 10 years) until the closure of growth plates. Scoliosis is caused by postural, balance and neuromotor disorders as a primary cause of impaired sensory integrity, proprioceptive feedback deficits, secondary lung problems, organ disorders and pain. Children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have inadequate respiratory function. At the same time, these children show muscle weakness in certain parts of the body. The aim of this study is to compare young adolescents with scoliosis with their healthy peers and examine whether respiratory muscle strength, peripheral muscle strength and postural control are affected.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Respiratory Muscle Strength

  Respiratory muscle strength will be made with a portable, electronic intraoral pressure measuring device.

  Baseline

• Peripheral Muscle Strength

  Peripheral muscle strength will be performed using an electronic dynamometer.

  Baseline

• Postural Control

  Postural Stability and Balance will be evaluated with the Biodex Balance System®.

  Baseline

Study Arms (2)

Scoliosis group

In this study, an evaluation form including demographic and clinical characteristics, respiratory muscle strength measurement, quadriceps muscle strength measurement with electronic hand dynamometer, hand grip strength with dynamometer and postural stability assessment with Biodex Balance System® will be applied to all scoliosis adolescent.

Device: Respiratory Pressure Meter (MicroRPM)

Healthy group

In this study, an evaluation form including demographic and clinical characteristics, respiratory muscle strength measurement, quadriceps muscle strength measurement with electronic hand dynamometer, hand grip strength with dynamometer and postural stability assessment with Biodex Balance System® will be applied to all healthy adolescent.

Device: Respiratory Pressure Meter (MicroRPM)

Interventions

Respiratory Pressure Meter (MicroRPM) DEVICE

Peripheral muscle strength, respiratory muscle strength and postural controls of all adolescents will be evaluated. The values of the scoliotic and healthy groups will be compared.

Also known as: Biodex Balance System®

Healthy group; Scoliosis group
