Brief Summary

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

This study was planned to investigate whether there is a visual-spatial perception disorder in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis and also to reveal its dependent/independent relationship with vestibular dysfunction.

Detailed Description

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

Vestibular dysfunction is thought to be associated with the etiology of patients with idiopathic scoliosis. However, there is limited data on this in the literature. However, visuospatial ability has been evaluated in the literature regarding vestibular dysfunction independent of scoliosis. In the study, it was first requested to investigate vestibular dysfunction in patients with scoliosis. However, as far as is known, there is no study in the literature on visuospatial perception investigated for vestibular dysfunction in patients with scoliosis. This study was planned to investigate whether there is a disorder related to visuospatial perception and to reveal its dependent/independent relationship with vestibular dysfunction. Based on the studies, it is planned to evaluate visuospatial (visual-spatial) perception performance in the presence/absence of vestibular dysfunction in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis. The hypothesis of the study is that vestibular function and related visual-spatial perception may be affected in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patient group

Romberg test and single leg standing test will be used in balance assessment. The presence of vestibular dysfunction will be evaluated with the Utenberger test. Under the name of visual-spatial perception, spatial memory will be evaluated with the mobile application called Corsi Block Tapping, and navigation performance will be evaluated with the triangle completion task. In addition, X-ray images taken during routine follow-ups will be used to determine the location, type of curvature and Cobb angle of the scoliosis. The degree of rotation will be measured with a mobile application called Scoliodetector. Quality of life is planned to be evaluated with the Scoliosis Research Society-22 questionnaire.

Balance assessment

Intervention Type OTHER

Romberg test and one-leg standing test will be used.

Unterberger test

Intervention Type OTHER

During 50 steps, he will count in place with 45 degrees of hip flexion, and after 50 steps, the angle of rotation between the first position and the final position of the right foot will be measured with the help of a goniometer and the displacement distance.

Corsi Block Tapping (mobıl app)

Intervention Type OTHER

Spatial memory will be evaluated.

Navigation performance

Intervention Type OTHER

Two triangles (one equilateral, one oblique triangle, at 30°, 60° and 90° angles respectively) with route segment lengths between 150 and 300 cm will be marked on the floor and the participants will be asked to complete the task with their eyes closed. The final deviation amount will be recorded.

Cobb angle measurement

Intervention Type OTHER

It will be evaluated with the help of X-ray.

Scolio Detector (mobıl app)

Intervention Type OTHER

The degree of rotation will be measured with the mobile application called Scolio Detector.

Control group

Romberg test and single leg standing test will be used in balance assessment. The presence of vestibular dysfunction will be evaluated with the Utenberger test. Under the name of visual-spatial perception, spatial memory will be evaluated with the mobile application called Corsi Block Tapping, and navigation performance will be evaluated with the triangle completion task.
