简要总结
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a rotational deformity of the spine that could be seen 2-3% of population. Conservative treatment of AIS with 20-45 degree lateral flexion angle (Cobb) includes brace and therapeutic exercises. Some gait abnormalities were defined like decreased torsional movements of spine, increased muscular work and energy expenditure in AIS. Additionally wearing a brace limits pelvic motions and affects pendulum-like mechanism of gait. Our aim was to investigate gait energy consumption, pulmonary functions, balance and lower extremity loading symmetry in AIS subjects who are getting conservative treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
Gait Oxygen Consumption
时间窗: Assessment will be done at the end of first month of conservative treatment.
Oxygen consumption will be assessed with a mobile metabolic analyzer during walking on treadmill with 4 km/h gait speed. Recordings will be taken for 2 minutes after first 2 minutes of walking.
次要结局
- Pulmonary Functions(Assessment will be done at the end of first month of conservative treatment.)
- Balance(Assessment will be done at the end of first month of conservative treatment.)
- Lower extremity loading symmetry(Assessment will be done at the end of first month of conservative treatment.)
