简要总结
In our study, the degree of scoliosis curvature in volunteers will be determined using full-body standing X-rays. Additionally, the rotation degree of the spinal curvature in volunteers will be assessed with a scoliosis meter (a type of ruler) through the forward bending test while standing. To measure the impact of scoliosis on the quality of life, the SRS-22 questionnaire, consisting of 22 questions, will be used. The level of pain experienced by volunteers as a result of scoliosis will be evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS), where pain intensity is marked on a 10 centimeter line. Lastly, the volunteers; breathing patterns will be assessed by measuring chest circumference with a tape measure.
详细描述
In this randomized controlled trial, we aim to assess various physical and quality of life parameters in volunteers with scoliosis. The degree of spinal curvature will be measured using full body standing X-rays, providing a detailed assessment of the scoliosis angle. Additionally, the rotation degree of the spinal curvature will be evaluated with a scoliosis meter during the forward bending test, which is commonly used to gauge the rotational component of scoliosis.
Quality of life will be assessed using the Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) questionnaire, a validated tool consisting of 22 questions designed to evaluate function, pain, self image, mental health, and satisfaction in individuals with scoliosis. To quantify pain levels experienced due to scoliosis, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used, in which participants mark their pain intensity on a 10 centimeter line, ranging from "no pain" to "worst pain imaginable." This provides an accurate, subjective measure of pain severity.
Breathing patterns will also be evaluated by measuring the volunteers' chest circumference at full inspiration and expiration using a standard tape measure, allowing us to assess any potential restrictions in lung expansion related to the spinal curvature. Through this comprehensive evaluation, we hope to gain a clearer understanding of how scoliosis affects both the physical and psychological well being of individuals and identify potential areas for therapeutic intervention.

结局指标
主要结局
Cobb Angel
时间窗: 8 weeks
The Cobb angle will be measured using standing full-spine X-rays to quantify the degree of spinal curvature in patients with scoliosis.
Respiratory Muscle Strength
时间窗: 8 weeks
Respiratory muscle strength was measured using an electronic mouth pressure measuring device (Cosmed Ponyy Fx, Rome, Italy). Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) were measured.
Angle Trunk Rotation
时间窗: 8 weeks
The Adams forward bending test, commonly used in scoliosis screening, involves positioning the patient with arms extended forward to assess for asymmetric protrusions and coronal imbalance in the back, while a scoliometer is utilized to measure the degree of spinal rotation and track progression of trunk asymmetry and deformity.
次要结局
- Visual Analog Scale(8 weeks)
- Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) Quality of Life Questionnaire(8 weeks)
