Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We aimed in this study:

1. To compare the ultrasonographic measurements of the abdominal muscles thickness symmetry in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and adolescent healthy individuals
2. To investigate the effect of measured thickness and symmetry on pulmonary function test.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This cross-sectional,case-control clinical study included 40 patients diagnosed with AIS and 40 age and gender -matched healthy individuals. AIS group was evaluated for localization of curvature and degree of curvature. Ultrasonographic measurements and were performed of bilaterally abdominal muscle thickness in both groups. Spirometry evaluation was performed in both groups. Intragroup and intergroup data were compared.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Ultrasonographic measurements were performed of bilaterally abdominal muscle thickness of AIS patients diagnosed by a specialist. Spirometry evaluation was performed by the investigator

Bilaterally abdominal muscle thickness with ultrasonography

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

AIS group was evaluated for localization of curvature and degree of curvature. Ultrasonographic measurements were performed of bilaterally abdominal muscle thickness in the supine and standing positions in both groups. Spirometry evaluation was performed in both groups

Adolescent healthy individuals

Healthy adolescents aged 10-18 were selected. Ultrasonographic measurements were performed of bilaterally abdominal muscle thickness. Spirometry evaluation was performed by the investigator.
