Investigation of Muscle Activity With sEMG, Surface Topography and Radiographic Changes of Paraspinal Muscles in Individuals With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.
Sponsor: Akdeniz University
Summary
The aim of this study is to examine paraspinal muscle activity, body surface topography, posture, and radiographic characteristics in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis who use a brace and those who do not will be compared with healthy individuals. Paraspinal muscle activity will be assessed using surface electromyography (sEMG), surface topography using the Artec Eva 3D scanner, postural characteristics using postural analysis, and spinal curvature using the Cobb angle measurement based on existing radiographs. Quality of life will be assessed using the SRS-22 questionnaire.
