Summary

This study was planned to investigate whether there is a visual-spatial perception disorder in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis and also to reveal its dependent/independent relationship with vestibular dysfunction.

Detailed description

Vestibular dysfunction is thought to be associated with the etiology of patients with idiopathic scoliosis. However, there is limited data on this in the literature. However, visuospatial ability has been evaluated in the literature regarding vestibular dysfunction independent of scoliosis. In the study, it was first requested to investigate vestibular dysfunction in patients with scoliosis. However, as far as is known, there is no study in the literature on visuospatial perception investigated for vestibular dysfunction in patients with scoliosis. This study was planned to investigate whether there is a disorder related to visuospatial perception and to reveal its dependent/independent relationship with vestibular dysfunction. Based on the studies, it is planned to evaluate visuospatial (visual-spatial) perception performance in the presence/absence of vestibular dysfunction in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis. The hypothesis of the study is that vestibular function and related visual-spatial perception may be affected in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis.

Conditions

• Scoliosis Idiopathic
• Vestibular Function Disorder
• Visuospatial/Perceptual Abilities

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Balance assessment	Romberg test and one-leg standing test will be used.
OTHER	Unterberger test	During 50 steps, he will count in place with 45 degrees of hip flexion, and after 50 steps, the angle of rotation between the first position and the final position of the right foot will be measured with the help of a goniometer and the displacement distance.
OTHER	Corsi Block Tapping (mobıl app)	Spatial memory will be evaluated.
OTHER	Navigation performance	Two triangles (one equilateral, one oblique triangle, at 30°, 60° and 90° angles respectively) with route segment lengths between 150 and 300 cm will be marked on the floor and the participants will be asked to complete the task with their eyes closed. The final deviation amount will be recorded.
OTHER	Cobb angle measurement	It will be evaluated with the help of X-ray.
OTHER	Scolio Detector (mobıl app)	The degree of rotation will be measured with the mobile application called Scolio Detector.
