Hip Related Functional Limitations in Individuals With Idiopathic Scoliosis

Hip Related Functional Limitations in Individuals With Idiopathic Scoliosis

The aim of this study is to examine the functional parameters of hip and jaw in terms of scoliosis degree and scoliosis pattern in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis.

In this study investigators will examine the hip functional parameters and jaw functional parameters separately.

In hip study hip functional parameters will be evaluated for determining the correlation between scoliosis degree/pattern and hip functions.

In jaw study jaw functional parameters will be evaluated for determining the correlation between scoliosis degree/pattern and hip functions.

Inclusion Criteria: (for all hip and jaw evaluation)

• Having been diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis by a specialist physician with existing anterior-posterior and lateral lateral radiographs,
• Primary curvature over 10 degrees in the coronal plane according to the Cobb method,
• Being literate,
• To cooperate in answering and implementing evaluation scales,
• Children with written consent from their parents and themselves will be included.

Exclusion Criteria: (for hip evaluation)

• Having any systemic illness,
• Spinal surgery history,
• Presence of any acute or chronic disease other than scoliosis,
• Inadequate quality to examine the measurement parameters of the current vertebral radiography,
• Use of musical instruments,
• Long-term and professional sports.

Exclusion Criteria: (for jaw evaluation)

• Having any systemic illness,
• Spinal surgery history,
• Presence of any acute or chronic disease other than scoliosis,
• Aesthetics or any injection intervention in the face and neck area,
• Spinal surgery history,
• Orthodontic treatment,
• Use of musical instruments,
