Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Schroth 3D exercise method on home symmetry, trunk topography, scapula symmetry, pelvic symmetry, health related quality of life and cosmetic deformity perception in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis

Detailed description

Cobb angle measurement, which is accepted as the gold standard in patients with scoliosis, is a radiological measurement. However, in continuous follow-up, the search for other methods to obtain objective data that will provide a short term evaluation on the patient in determining the efficacy of conservative treatment continues. In our study, individuals who meet the criteria will be evaluated at the beginning and end of the study. Sociodemographic features and scoliosis characteristics (Cobb angle, degree of bone maturation according to Risser, apex, vertebra rotation angle) will be recorded. Posterior Trunk Asymmetry Index (POTSI) will be used to determine body asymmetry, and topographic measurements will be performed with Artec Eva 3D Scanner and motion analysis will be performed with Biomechanical Motion Analysis Sistem (Model is BTS Smart DX100) . Individuals will evaluate their cosmetic deformities with the Walter Reed Visual Evaluation Scale. Scoliosis Research Society-22 will be used to measure quality of life.
