Effects of COVID on scoliosis

Details and patient eligibility

About

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.

Full description

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.
