The goal of this observational study is 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 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The main questions it aims to answer are:
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity and sagittal plane changes are accompanied by coronal plane changes. As a result of spinal deformity, morphological changes occur in the trunk and rib cage, and the relationships between body parts are affected. Considering the anatomical proximity between the scapula and the rib cage, alteration of the shoulder and upper extremity functions as a consequence of the change in proximal orientation is expected.
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.

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 | Other | 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:
|
|
| Simple Shoulder Test | Other | 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. |
