Investigation of the Relationship Between Body Image Perception, Proprioception, Cobb Angle and Posture in Individuals With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a three-dimensional torsional deformation of the spine and trunk. Chest deformity and pelvic asymmetry are often seen together with spinal deformity. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis occurs from the onset of puberty until growth plate closure and is the most common of all scoliosis. One of the most common deformities among posture disorders is known as scoliosis. The change in load distribution resulting from this three-dimensional deformation causes postural changes in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. According to a study, it is thought that postural control and central information processing efficiency may decrease as the Cobb angle increases in people with scoliosis.
