Summary

It is not known to what extent the COVID-19 virus affects individuals with scoliosis during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, in this study it was aimed to comparatively investigate pain severity, posture disorders that can be assessed by artificial intelligence, physical activity levels and quality of life in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis with and without COVID-19.

Detailed description

Various physical and psychological disorders observed in individuals with scoliosis have worsened during the pandemic period. However, it is still not fully known to what extent the COVID-19 virus affects individuals with scoliosis during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, this study aimed to comparatively investigate pain severity, posture disorders that can be assessed by artificial intelligence, physical activity levels and quality of life in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis with and without COVID-19. With the findings obtained from this way, it is expect that artificial intelligence technology will shed light on a new approach to the rehabilitation of individuals with idiopathic scoliosis who have suffered from COVID-19. In addition, if there is more pain, posture disorders, physical inactivity and quality of life disorders in individuals with scoliosis who have previously experienced COVID-19, it is also aimed to bring them to light. In this way, it will be possible to provide more specific direction to the rehabilitation of these individuals.

Conditions

• COVID-19 Respiratory Infection
• Idiopathic Scoliosis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Physical Evaluations of post-COVID-19 individuals	In this study, scoliosis degree measurement, number of steps, pain, posture and quality of life will be evaluated in idiopathic scoliosis with post-COVID-19 individuals. The data to be obtained from all these evaluations will be collected from the individuals at one time and over a period of approximately 1 hour at the most. Step count tracking with pedometer will be done for each individual for 3 days.
OTHER	Physical evaluations of non-post-COVID-19 individuals	In this study, scoliosis degree measurement, number of steps, pain, posture and quality of life will be evaluated in idiopathic scoliosis without post-COVID-19 individuals.
