Comparison of Reposition Sense in Scoliosis and Healthy Adolescents

Spinal pain assessment

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS): It is used to quantify the pain intensity of patients. Rest, activity, and night pain will be assessed in the study. The condition that there is no pain is expressed as 0, and the condition that there is too much pain to be tolerated is expressed as 10.

Time frame: Baseline

Physical activity level

The subjects' physical activity will be assessed with the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children. The questionnaire consists of a total of 9 items (21 activities) that questions the last 7 days with the form of a 5-point Likert-type. The high scores indicate a high physical activity level. Scoring is based on the frequency of the activities, 'never done' (1 point), '1-2 times' (2 points), '3-4 times' (3 points), '5-6 times' (4 points), ' 7 times and more' (5 points).

Time frame: Baseline

Adam's Forward Bending Test

The curve for the diagnosis of scoliosis will be analyzed in the Adam's forward bending test. The test will be performed with a scoliometer to measure the degree of rotation of the vertebrae in the horizontal plane in scoliosis. Rotation measured below 5 degrees is considered normal and does not require follow-up.

Time frame: Baseline

Cobb angle assessment

The Cobb method has an important role in determining the size of the spinal curve in frontal plane radiography, determining the size of the treatment, and measuring the effectiveness of the treatment. Cobb angle measurement is performed on standard anteroposterior spine radiography. In the measurement, the angle between a line drawn parallel to the upper vertebra joining the curve and a line drawn parallel to the bottom of the lowest vertebra of the same curve is calculated. The increase in the Cobb degree is considered as an indicator of the increase in the severity of the curvature.
