About this trial
Purpose of This study to detect if there is correlation between the Cobb's angle and the forward head posture in patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.
And if there is correlation between the Cobb's angle and the cervical sagittal curve angle in AIS. And also if there is correlation between the Cobb's angle and deep flexors muscles endurance in AIS
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
1- Patients with AIS. 2- Patient with forward head posture CVA less than 48 degress. (Fard et al .,2021) 3- Patients aged between 10 and 18 years, (Upasani et al., 2007). 4- Patients who underwent Posterioanterior (PA) and lateral X-ray radiography, and Cobb angle >10°.(Nasser et al.,2023) 5- Patients with Lenke types (1 to 6). 6- No previous spine surgery ((Wang, et al., 2017).
Disqualifiers
1- Patients with congenital scoliosis (including hemivertebrae, butterfly vertebrae, and failure of segmentation), (Shu-Man Han et al., 2022 and Nasser et al., 2023).
Trial population
Thirty four Male and female subjects with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis participating in this study will be assigned homogenously some of them with Cobb's angle below 45 degrees and others above 45 degrees (n=34) and they will sign a consent form.
