About this study

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.

Treatment and study plan

Schroth Exercise Group

Other

12 week , Exercises 1 hour, 2 times for a week with physiotherapist 20 minutes home exercise

Home Exercise Group

Other

Home exercise 20 min at home Once, one hour to determine the Schroth program + teaching home exercises 20 minutes home exercise

Primary outcomes

  1. Root Mean Square(RMS)

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Body right and left asymmetry will be examined.

  2. 3D Motion analysis

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    3D motion analysis with 4 cameras, symmetry of certain points will be evaluated during motion.

  3. Postural Trunk Asymmetry Index (POTSI)

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    It is a method that allows an individual with AIS to evaluate body shape and asymmetry.

  4. Walter Reed Visuel Assesment Scale

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Walter Reed Visuel Assesment Scale (WRVAS) each aspect is shown with five levels of increasing severity of the seven type of deformity that are scored from minimum (1) to maximum (5). How individuals perceive their own cosmetic deformities and the effectiveness of treatment in improving cosmetic deformity can be evaluated

  5. Scoliosis Research Society-22

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Scoliosis Research Society (SRS-22) is a simple and practical questionnaire specific to individuals with scoliosis. The questionnaire included pain, self-image, function / activity, mental health and treatment satisfaction. There are 22 questionnaire questions, scoring from 1 to 5. The minimum score is the worst score (22).
