Overview
Brief Summary
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional torsional deformation of the spine and trunk. Chest deformity and pelvic asymmetry are often seen together with spinal deformity. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis occurs from the onset of puberty until growth plate closure and is the most common of all scoliosis. One of the most common deformities among posture disorders is known as scoliosis. The change in load distribution resulting from this three-dimensional deformation causes postural changes in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. According to a study, it is thought that postural control and central information processing efficiency may decrease as the Cobb angle increases in people with scoliosis.
Detailed Description
Scoliosis, shoulder asymmetry, midline asymmetry, trunk shift and lower extremity length inequality. Therefore, it affects body image perception negatively by limiting physical functions and mobility. In a study conducted with individuals with AIS, it was found that as the Cobb angle increased, body image was adversely affected. It is also known that during the vertebral growth period in idiopathic scoliosis, postural reflex mechanisms originating from the proprioceptive organs and balance problems are associated with the displacement of the vertebrae. As a result of a study on vestibular effect and proprioception, it is concluded that it would be beneficial to include proprioception, balance and coordination exercises in the treatment of scoliosis. In the current literature review, no study was found that investigated the relationships between Cobb angle, proprioception, body image perception and posture variables in individuals with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. The aim of our study is to explain the relationship between some problems accompanied by scoliosis in individuals diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis. With the results that can be obtained from our study, we aim to explain how posture, proprioception and body image perception are affected in individuals with AIS and to contribute to the exercise programs that can be given to the person in line with these results.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Fukuda Step Test
Time Frame: Baseline
The patient will do a 50 or 100 step counting motion with eyes open and closed. 30 degree rotation or 50 cm displacement for 50 steps relative to the starting position; For 100 steps, 31 turns of 45 degrees and displacement of 100 cm will count as a positive result. The hypoactive side of the labyrinth will be accepted as the patient's turning side. The displacement amount of the person will be measured in cm with the help of a tape measure, and the rotation amount will be measured in degrees with the help of a goniometer and recorded in the evaluation form.

- Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale(Baseline)
- Posterior Trunk Symmetry Index(Baseline)
- Coronal Imbalance(Baseline)
- Sagittal Index(Baseline)
