Summary

Thirty volunteer patients diagnosed with scoliosis by a specialist physician at Gazi University Hospital Orthopedics and Traumatology Department and subsequently referred to Gazi University Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department for exercise training will be included in the study. The lumbar Pressure Measurement Test with Stabilizer and Rotation Stability Tests will be utilized to evaluate the spinal stability of the patients. Body awareness will be assessed using the Body Awareness Survey, comprising 18 questions. All assessments will be conducted at the Orthopedic Rehabilitation Clinic within the relevant department. The results obtained from this study will elucidate the relationship between body awareness and spinal stability in individuals with scoliosis.

Detailed description

The data obtained from the study will be analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results will be presented as Mean ± Standard Deviation (X ± SD), percentage (%), or median with interquartile range (IQR), depending on their distribution normality. Data conforming to a normal distribution will be compared using the Independent Samples Student's t-test, while those not conforming will be analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. The relationship between variables will be assessed using the Spearman Correlation Test. A significance level of p \< 0.05 will be utilized to determine statistical significance.
