It is not known to what extent the COVID-19 virus affects individuals with scoliosis during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, in this study it was aimed to comparatively investigate pain severity, posture disorders that can be assessed by artificial intelligence, physical activity levels and quality of life in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis with and without COVID-19.
Various physical and psychological disorders observed in individuals with scoliosis have worsened during the pandemic period. However, it is still not fully known to what extent the COVID-19 virus affects individuals with scoliosis during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, this study aimed to comparatively investigate pain severity, posture disorders that can be assessed by artificial intelligence, physical activity levels and quality of life in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis with and without COVID-19.
With the findings obtained from this way, it is expect that artificial intelligence technology will shed light on a new approach to the rehabilitation of individuals with idiopathic scoliosis who have suffered from COVID-19. In addition, if there is more pain, posture disorders, physical inactivity and quality of life disorders in individuals with scoliosis who have previously experienced COVID-19, it is also aimed to bring them to light. In this way, it will be possible to provide more specific direction to the rehabilitation of these individuals.

| Physical Evaluations of post-COVID-19 individuals | Other | In this study, scoliosis degree measurement, number of steps, pain, posture and quality of life will be evaluated in idiopathic scoliosis with post-COVID-19 individuals. The data to be obtained from all these evaluations will be collected from the individuals at one time and over a period of approximately 1 hour at the most. Step count tracking with pedometer will be done for each individual for 3 days. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Daily average step count | The step counts will be recorded via pedometers everyday within 3 days after confirming enrolment. | through study completion, an average of 1 year |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Intensity measured with the Numerical Rating Scale. | Pain intensity will be measured with the Numerical Rating Scale. This scale expresses the severity of pain with integers from 0 (no pain) to 10 (the worst possible pain). | through study completion, an average of 1 year |
| Total quality of life score evaluated by Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) questionnaire. |

| Physical evaluations of non-post-COVID-19 individuals | Other | In this study, scoliosis degree measurement, number of steps, pain, posture and quality of life will be evaluated in idiopathic scoliosis without post-COVID-19 individuals. |
|
The score will be evaluated using Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) questionnaire. SRS-22 contains 22 questions. Each question is scored from 1 (worst) to 5 (best), with higher scores indicating better results. The minimum score obtained from the questionnaire is 22 and the maximum total score is 110. |
| through study completion, an average of 1 year |
| Posture assessment | Posture deviation will be determined according to the deviation score in the joint centers obtained by photographing the posture of the individuals and uploading them to the system. Posture assessment will be made with a mobile application based on the concept of postural analysis with artificial intelligence. | through study completion, an average of 1 year |
| Degree of vertebral rotation | Degree of vertebral rotation will be evaluated through a scoliometer. | through study completion, an average of 1 year |
| Pain severity | Pain severity will be assessed via Pressure Algometry | through study completion, an average of 1 year |
