Hip Related Functional Limitations in Individuals With Idiopathic Scoliosis

In this study investigators will examine the hip functional parameters and jaw functional parameters separately.

In hip study hip functional parameters will be evaluated for determining the correlation between scoliosis degree/pattern and hip functions.

In jaw study jaw functional parameters will be evaluated for determining the correlation between scoliosis degree/pattern and hip functions.
