Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
To explore this hypothesis, the study will include participants diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis. The researchers will measure thoracolumbar fascia thickness using ultrasound and assess trunk flexibility through various range of motion tests, including trunk flexion, extension, and lateral flexion using a goniometer, as well as the sit-and-reach test. To quantify the severity of the spinal curvature, the Cobb angle will be measured on anteroposterior standing radiographs.
Participants will also be asked to report their pain levels using the Visual Analog Scale, a simple tool where individuals rate their pain on a scale from 0 to 10. By analyzing the collected data, the researchers aim to establish potential correlations between thoracolumbar fascia thickness, trunk flexibility, and low back pain in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Idiopathic scoliosis without pain
In this group, there will be individuals diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis whose Cobb angle is above 15 degrees and whose pain level, as assessed by the Visual Analog Scale, is below 3.
No interventions assigned to this group
