Brief Summary

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common form of scoliosis. Although an increasing number of studies suggest that an abnormal sensory-motor integration critically contributes to the cause of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis , there is uncertainty about the level of the central nervous system explaining this dysfunction. Therefore, the planned master's thesis study aims to compare proprioception, tactile acuity, right-left reasoning ability, motor imagery ability, including the evaluation of body schema, which is a sensorimotor representation in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients with healthy individuals. In addition, the relationship of these markers with posture results, body perception and quality of life of individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will be investigated as a secondary aim.

Conditions

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis; Body Schema

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• The two-point discrimination test

  The two-point discrimination test is used to assess if the patient is able to identify two close points on a small area of skin, and how fine the ability to discriminate this are. It is a measure of tactile agnosia, or the inability to recognize these two points despite intact cutaneous sensation and proprioception

  Baseline

• Left/right discrimination (Lateralization)

  Right-Left Discrimination will be evaluated with Recognise™ applications (Back) developed by the "Neuro Orthopedic Institute".

  Baseline

• Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire

  Motor imagery ability will be assessed with the Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire (KVIQ). The participant gives a score between 1 and 5 for the image he/she imagines: "1 point: no image, 5 points: as clear as the original." This process is repeated for each task and at the end of the survey, kinesthetic imagery score, visual imagery score and total score are calculated.

  Baseline

• Lumbar proprioception test

  In both groups, thoracic and lumbar repositioning accuracy will be measured and evaluated using the dual inclinometer system.

  Baseline

• Pressure Pain Threshold

  A digital pressure algometer will be applied to the web space of the foot opposite the trigger point. Participants are instructed to say "stop" or "pain" so the stimulus can be terminated "when the sensation first transitions from pressure to pain" (pain threshold).
