Brief Summary
It is not known to what extent the COVID-19 virus affects individuals with scoliosis during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, in this study it was aimed to comparatively investigate pain severity, posture disorders that can be assessed by artificial intelligence, physical activity levels and quality of life in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis with and without COVID-19.

Study Arms (2)
Post-COVID-19 group
This group will consist of individuals with idiopathic scoliosis who have had COVID-19.
Control group
The control group will consist of individuals with idiopathic scoliosis without post-COVID-19.
Interventions
In this study, scoliosis degree measurement, number of steps, pain, posture and quality of life will be evaluated in idiopathic scoliosis with post-COVID-19 individuals. The data to be obtained from all these evaluations will be collected from the individuals at one time and over a period of approximately 1 hour at the most. Step count tracking with pedometer will be done for each individual for 3 days.
In this study, scoliosis degree measurement, number of steps, pain, posture and quality of life will be evaluated in idiopathic scoliosis without post-COVID-19 individuals.
