简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Schroth exercises and kinesiological taping on spinal deformities and serum markers in young adults with scoliosis. The study will include young adults aged 18-21 with scoliosis. A total of 57 participants will be included in the study. Out of 57 participants, 38 have scoliosis, and 19 are healthy. 38 participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups. One group (n=19) will receive only Schroth exercises, and the other group (n=19) will receive both Schroth exercises and kinesiological taping. The laboratory analyses of proteins associated with autophagy (Beclin-1, LC3, and ATG3) and bone-cartilage metabolism (COMP and MMP-3) will be conducted in the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory of our university. Trunk rotation will be assessed using the Adams Forward Bend Test with scoliometer, quality of life will be evaluated with the SRS-22 Quality of Life questionnaire and Quality of life profile for spinal deformities questionnaire, perception of deformity will be measured using the Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale, and Cobb angles will be evaluated from anterior-posterior X-ray images.

The laboratory analyses of proteins associated with autophagy (Beclin-1, LC3, and ATG3) and bone-cartilage metabolism (COMP and MMP-3) will be conducted in the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory of our university. Schroth exercises will be administered to both groups twice a week for 12 weeks. Kinesiological taping will be applied twice a week to the group receiving both Schroth exercises and kinesiological taping. Pre-treatment evaluations will include assessments of Cobb angles, trunk rotation, serum markers, quality of life and perception of deformity. Post treatment evaluations will include assessments of trunk rotation, cobb angles, serum markers, quality of life and perception of deformity.

结局指标
主要结局
Cobb angles
时间窗: At the beginning of the study and three months later
At the beginning and end of the study, participants will have their Cobb angle evaluated from anterior-posterior and posterior-anterior X-ray images.
Trunk rotation
时间窗: At the beginning of the study and three months later
This method assesses spinal rotation caused by scoliosis. Individuals were asked to stand with their feet together and shoulders width apart, and then to bend forward. Rotation degrees were measured using a scoliometer.
Serum markers
时间窗: At the beginning of the study and three months later
The laboratory analyses of proteins associated with autophagy (Beclin-1, LC3, and ATG3) and bone-cartilage metabolism (COMP and MMP-3) will be conducted in the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory of our university.
次要结局
- Body image assessment(At the beginning of the study and three months later)
- Quality of life with scoliosis people(At the beginning of the study and three months later)
