Scoliosis Idiopathic Clinical Trial

Official title: Clinical and Radiological Markers of Dual Tasking and Upper Extremity Disability in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the dual task and upper extremity disability in individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis compared to healthy controls and to examine their relationship with clinical and radiological parameters in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. To compare dual task and upper extremity disability in individuals with AIS and healthy sex and age-matched healthy controls.

2. To analyze the relationship of dual-task and upper extremity disability in individuals with AIS with clinical and radiological parameters All participants' dual-task performance will be evaluated and they will answer the upper extremity disability survey. Besides, the study groups will be examined thoroughly and radiological parameters will be calculated to identify the clinical and radiological parameters that affect dual-task performance and upper extremity disability.

Clinical Trial Description

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity and sagittal plane changes are accompanied by coronal plane changes. As a result of spinal deformity, morphological changes occur in the trunk and rib cage, and the relationships between body parts are affected. Considering the anatomical proximity between the scapula and the rib cage, alteration of the shoulder and upper extremity functions as a consequence of the change in proximal orientation is expected.

On the other hand, maintaining postural control depends on the dynamic relationship between sensory information and motor output. Dual tasking is an experience-based neurophysiological process that requires a person to perform two tasks simultaneously. When a person has problems with the neurophysiological process, the performance of one or both functions is negatively affected.

This observational study aims to evaluate the dual task and upper extremity disability in individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis compared to healthy controls and to examine their relationship with clinical and radiological parameters in AIS. All participants' dual-task performance will be evaluated and they will answer the upper extremity disability survey. Besides, the study groups will be examined thoroughly and radiological parameters will be calculated to identify the clinical and radiological parameters that affect dual-task performance and upper extremity disability. ;
