Investigation of Gait Pattern in Idiopathic Scoliosis
- Conditions
- Idiopathic Scoliosis
- Interventions
- Other: Pedobarographic analysis
- Registration Number
- NCT06433167
- Lead Sponsor
- Gazi University
- Brief Summary
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, which can affect an individual's gait. Scoliosis can alter body balance and weight distribution. Pedobarographic analysis identifies imbalances and abnormal pressure points by measuring the distribution of pressure applied to the sole of the foot. This examination helps detect abnormalities in the gait mechanics of individuals with scoliosis. Gait analysis can identify long-term foot and leg problems caused by scoliosis at an early stage, allowing for early interventions to prevent more serious issues.
The aim of this study is to analyze gait in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis and compare it with that of healthy individuals. The study will include 30 scoliosis patients who visited the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at Gazi University Hospital and were diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis by a specialist physician. The gait patterns of the patients will be evaluated using pedobarography. Information about the type and degree of scoliosis will be obtained from hospital records. The results of this study may provide an objective and detailed evaluation of gait and pressure distribution disorders in individuals with scoliosis and may contribute to more effective treatment plans.

Healthy control Pedobarographic analysis Healthy control group is healthy individuals without any diagnosed disease.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pedobarography Day 1 This assessment uses a specialized device called a pedobarograph, which consists of pressure sensors embedded in a platform. When a person stands or walks on the pedobarograph, the sensors record the pressure exerted by different parts of the foot. The resulting data is then used to create detailed pressure maps and graphs that highlight areas of high and low pressure.
