Overview
Brief Summary
Spinal deformity is common in childhood and adolescence, and can often present as scoliosis or increased thoracic kyphosis deformity with various etiologies.The diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle, and diaphragm contraction is associated with respiratory functions.Any spinal deformity, especially one that affects the thoracic spine, can affect lung function.In the planned thesis study, investigators will measure the diaphragm thickness in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients with scoliosis deformities affecting the thoracic region, whether there is any relationship between the impact in the thoracic region and the diaphragm thickness, and the three-dimensional exercise (Schroth exercise-Barcelona Schroth therapy) applied in investigators' clinic for scoliosis, before and after the treatment of the diaphragm. Investigators aimed to show whether there is any change in thickness.
Detailed Description
Spinal deformity is common in childhood and adolescence, and can often present as scoliosis or increased thoracic kyphosis deformity with various etiologies. Any spinal deformity, especially one that affects the thoracic spine, can affect lung function. If left untreated, the curves may distort over time as skeletal growth accelerates. In some patients, this can lead to restrictive or obstructive lung disease and, rarely, death as a result of cor pulmonale. The alignment of the skeletal system in the chest and its harmony with the compliance of the chest wall are related to respiratory function; Thoracic kyphosis and the resulting changes in the rib cage lead to a decrease in lung capacity. The diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle, and diaphragm contraction is associated with respiratory functions. In recent years, ultrasonography (USG) has gained increasing utility for visualizing the diaphragm and assessing its function, with several advantages. In the planned thesis study, investigators will measure the diaphragm thickness in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients with scoliosis deformities affecting the thoracic region, whether there is any relationship between the impact in the thoracic region and the diaphragm thickness, and the three-dimensional exercise (Schroth exercise-Barcelona Schroth therapy) applied in investigators' clinic for scoliosis, before and after the treatment of the diaphragm. Investigators aimed to show whether there is any change in thickness.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pulmonary function test
Time Frame: Within 2 weeks after applying to the scoliosis clinic (pre-exercise) and 3 months after exercise
We will use handheld spirometry device for measurement. Three measurements will be made. In these three measurements; FEV1(Forced Expiratory Volume In One Second) (Liter-L), FEV1 (%predicted), FVC (Forced Vital Capacity) (Liter-L), FVC (%predicted), FEV1/FVC (%) and FEV1/FVC (%predicted) will be evaluated. The arithmetic average of the results of these three measurements will be taken.
Scoliosis study form
Time Frame: Within 2 week of applying to the scoliosis outpatient clinic
Scoliosis study form consisting of clinical and radiological measurements of patients aged 10-18 years who applied to the outpatient clinic with spine deformity will be filled in detail.
Ultrasonographic Diaphragm Thickness Measurement
Time Frame: Within 2 weeks after applying to the scoliosis clinic(pre-exercise) and 3 months after exercise
Diaphragm thickness (millimeter-mm) will be measured in the supine position with a 6-14 Mhz lineer, conventional ultrasound probe (Mindray DC-8, Shenzen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics CO. LTD.,P.R. China) at the end of inspiration and expiration from the intercostal space on the anterior axillary line. The measurements will be evaluated by making three measurements from the right 8-9. intercostal space where the diaphragm is best visualized. Diaphragm thickness of End-expiratory (Forced residual capacity-FRC) (millimeter-mm), diaphragm thickness of end-inspiratory (Total Lung Capacity) (millimeter-mm) and thickening rate (%) (thickness TLC / thickness FRC) will be evaluated three times and the arithmetic average of these three measurements will be taken.
Secondary Outcomes
- The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory(Within 2 weeks after applying to the scoliosis clinic(pre-exercise) and 3 months after exercise)
- Scoliosis Research Society Score(Within 2 weeks after applying to the scoliosis clinic(pre-exercise) and 3 months after exercise)
