简要总结
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis s a three-dimensional spinal deformity that may alter shoulder girdle alignment, scapular orientation, and upper extremity biomechanics. Changes in scapular position can influence arm movement, muscle activation, and overall functional performance. Understanding these relationships is clinically important for developing effective exercise and rehabilitation strategies.
The aim of this study is to examine the association between scapular position and upper extremity performance in adolescents diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Scapular dyskinesis, scapular lateral displacement, and upper limb functional performance will be evaluated and correlated with Cobb angle severity. Findings may help clinicians better understand functional impairments linked to scoliosis and support more targeted rehabilitation programs.

结局指标
主要结局
Medicine Ball Throw Test
时间窗: 4 weeks
The test will be used to assess upper extremity explosive power. Participants will be positioned in an upright chair without armrests, with their ankles, knees, and hips at 90 degrees. They will be asked to grasp a 3-kg medicine ball with both hands and throw it overhead without bending their bodies forward or flexing their elbows. The first point where the ball touches the floor will be measured from the starting point, and the value will be recorded in cm. The test will be repeated three times, and the average will be recorded. If participants throw the ball down to neck level or by bending forward from the body, the test will be invalid and the test will be repeated.
