Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether pain perception under spinal pressure created on a physiotherapy roller differs according to gender in individuals diagnosed with scoliosis.

Conditions

Scoliosis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Scoliosis Research Society-22

  Scoliosis Research Society-22 is a functional survey for the patient to fill out on their scoliosis. This survey has been validated in the literature. It is a 22 question survey on the functional status and pain that a patient experiences. Created by the scoliosis research society. There is a scoring rubric that goes with the survey. This survey has 5 domains that are covered with the minimum score of 22 and the maximum score of 110. The higher the score the better the patient is doing in the domains of: Activities of Daily Living, Mental Health, Pain, Patient Satisfaction, Positive Affect, Quality of Life, Social Relationships, and Stress/Coping.

exercise will be given

Other: exercise

Interventions

exercise OTHER

The exercise program will be implemented three days a week for a total of six weeks, with each exercise session planned to be approximately 45 minutes long. All applications will be carried out under the supervision of a physiotherapist, and the spinal pressure created on the physiotherapy cylinder during the exercises will be controlled and applied within the limits that individuals can tolerate. The physiotherapy cylinder will be used as the main equipment, not an auxiliary one, in this study and will ensure that spinal pressure is created in a standard manner.
