Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
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.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
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.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Study group
Patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Single and Dual-Task Timed Up and Go Test
Timed Up and Go Test will be conducted. Then, for motor-motor dual-task evaluation, the test will be repeated while the subjects carry a tray containing 4 glasses of water without spilling the water. The time required to complete each test will be recorded in seconds.
Single and Dual-Task Tandem Walking Test
The tandem walking test will be performed. Then, for cognitive-motor dual-task tandem walking test assessment, the test will be repeated while the subject completes one of 3 different cognitive tasks. These cognitive tasks used during dual-task trials will be switched between trials in an attempt to avoid a practice effect. The time required to complete each test will be recorded in seconds.
The cognitive tasks are as follows:
1. Counting down by six or seven from a randomly presented 2-digit number
2. Counting backward the months starting from a randomly selected month
3. Spelling a five-letter word backwards
Simple Shoulder Test
Simple Shoulder Test contains 12 items and rates pain and function in patients with shoulder problems. Each item has two options and is scored either ''1 = yes'' or ''0 = no''. The total score ranges from 0 to 12. Higher scores indicate better physical functions.
Control group
Age and sex matched healthy adolescent peers
Single and Dual-Task Timed Up and Go Test
Timed Up and Go Test will be conducted. Then, for motor-motor dual-task evaluation, the test will be repeated while the subjects carry a tray containing 4 glasses of water without spilling the water. The time required to complete each test will be recorded in seconds.
