A New Clinical Tool for Scoliosis Risk Analysis: Scoliosis Tele-Screening Test.

Study Design: Methodological, observational clinical study.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a virtual screening test to detect scoliosis risk initially by parents without the need for medical visit during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

Overview Of Literature: The scoliosis screening program has been implemented to early detect scoliosis.

Cross-cultural validation of the Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life questionnaire: the ISYQOL international.

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and its treatments can severely impact health-related quality of life. The Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life (ISYQOL) questionnaire, initially developed in Italian and tested on Italian people, was created to measure quality of life in young persons with spine changes. ISYQOL was created using the Rasch analysis, a modern psychometric technique for questionnaires' assessment and development, which showed that the ordinal scores of the ISYQOL Italian version provide sound quality of life measures.

Comparison of two different delivery methods of home-based exercise on neck pain.

Aim: This study aimed to compare the effects of two different home-based exercise delivery methods on compliance, pain, and disability in participants with non-specific neck pain.

Materials & Methods: The study, which was carried out at Istanbul Arel University between February and May 2018, was carried out with 60 participants from university staff, aged 25-60, suffering from non-specific neck pain. The cases were randomly assigned to two groups.

Leg length discrepancy and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: clinical and radiological characteristics.

Purpose: This retrospective study aimed to present the clinical and radiological features of functional scoliosis due to LLD and LLD concurrent with AIS; it also aimed to define their relationships for differentiating functional scoliosis due to LLD and LLD concurrent with AIS.

Methods: This study was conducted as a single-center retrospective comparative study on 47 scoliosis patients with diagnosed LLD, aged 10-18 years. Cases with a diagnosis of structural LLD were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of concurrent AIS.

Prevalence of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in Turkey: an epidemiological study.

Background Context: Studies have shown that adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) prevalence varies between 0.35% and 5.2% and it is generally accepted as an average of 2%-3% in children under age 16.

Hypermobility Frequency in School Children: Relationship With Idiopathic Scoliosis, Age, Sex and Musculoskeletal Problems.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the prevalence of generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) in school children in relation to scoliosis and to identify musculoskeletal problems.

Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 822 school children (413 males, 409 females; mean age 12.2±1.

Single-nucleotide polymorphism in Turkish patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: curve progression is not related with MATN-1, LCT C/T-13910, and VDR BsmI.

The role of genetics in the etiopathogenesis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is unclear. In this study, we investigated the relationship between AIS and polymorphisms in MATN-1, LCT C/T-13910, and VDR BsmI genes. 53 Turkish adolescents with diagnosed AIS and 54 healthy adult individuals were included in the study.

The efficacy of balneotherapy and physical modalities on the pulmonary system of patients with fibromyalgia.

Effects of balneotherapy on Primary Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) have been studied well, except for its effect on the respiratory symptoms of FMS. In this study we allocated 56 patients with FMS into three groups who matched according to age, gender and duration of illness. All three groups received the same three physical therapy modalities (PTM): transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), ultrasound (US) and infrared (IR).

Turkish patients with osteoarthritis: their awareness of the side effects of NSAIDs.

Background/aims: The study aim was to determine the awareness of Turkish osteoarthritis patients of the side effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Methods: The patients were interviewed by 138 doctors regarding the level of their knowledge of the side effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Results: A total of 3,755 patients (female/male: 3/1, 35% > 65 years) were included in the study.

The use and safety profile of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs among Turkish patients with osteoarthritis.

Background/aims: To determine the use and safety profile of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) among Turkish osteoarthritis patients.

Methods: Osteoarthritis patients were interviewed by 138 doctors from clinics in nine different cities. Doctors completed a questionnaire regarding non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs use and safety profile while interviewing the patients.
