Registration Number
NCT04203394
Lead Sponsor
Eastern Mediterranean University
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Schroth 3D exercise method on home symmetry, trunk topography, scapula symmetry, pelvic symmetry, health related quality of life and cosmetic deformity perception in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis

Detailed Description

Cobb angle measurement, which is accepted as the gold standard in patients with scoliosis, is a radiological measurement. However, in continuous follow-up, the search for other methods to obtain objective data that will provide a short term evaluation on the patient in determining the efficacy of conservative treatment continues.

In our study, individuals who meet the criteria will be evaluated at the beginning and end of the study. Sociodemographic features and scoliosis characteristics (Cobb angle, degree of bone maturation according to Risser, apex, vertebra rotation angle) will be recorded. Posterior Trunk Asymmetry Index (POTSI) will be used to determine body asymmetry, and topographic measurements will be performed with Artec Eva 3D Scanner and motion analysis will be performed with Biomechanical Motion Analysis Sistem (Model is BTS Smart DX100) . Individuals will evaluate their cosmetic deformities with the Walter Reed Visual Evaluation Scale. Scoliosis Research Society-22 will be used to measure quality of life.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Root Mean Square(RMS)12 weeks

Body right and left asymmetry will be examined.

3D Motion analysis12 weeks

3D motion analysis with 4 cameras, symmetry of certain points will be evaluated during motion.

Postural Trunk Asymmetry Index (POTSI)12 weeks

It is a method that allows an individual with AIS to evaluate body shape and asymmetry.

Walter Reed Visuel Assesment Scale12 weeks

Walter Reed Visuel Assesment Scale (WRVAS) each aspect is shown with five levels of increasing severity of the seven type of deformity that are scored from minimum (1) to maximum (5). How individuals perceive their own cosmetic deformities and the effectiveness of treatment in improving cosmetic deformity can be evaluated

Scoliosis Research Society-2212 weeks

Scoliosis Research Society (SRS-22) is a simple and practical questionnaire specific to individuals with scoliosis. The questionnaire included pain, self-image, function / activity, mental health and treatment satisfaction. There are 22 questionnaire questions, scoring from 1 to 5. The minimum score is the worst score (22).
