Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the acute effect of activities of daily living on trunk rotation in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Detailed description

Patients with AIS who applied to Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department will be included in this study. Individuals diagnosed with AIS, whose Cobb angle is between 20º -50º, who do not have any chronic diseases that require neurological or psychiatric medication, and who volunteer to participate in the study will be included. Individuals with any contraindications for exercise, previous spine surgery, thoracic apex curvature of 6 or more, mental problems, non-idiopathic scoliosis but with different causes will be excluded from the study. To determine the demographic characteristics of the participants, age, gender, weight, height, presence of chronic disease, age at first diagnosis, exercise habits, treatments, and brace use will be questioned. The ATR will be used to measure degrees of trunk rotation to monitor the effects of treatment without radiographic evaluation. On the first day, the demographic characteristics of the participants will be questioned, Cobb angles, Risser findings, and ATR degrees will be recorded. After the first day, all postural activities and measurements will be taken on different days (at least three days apart) not to affect the degrees of trunk rotation in patients with AIS.
