Study population: Adolescents with a diagnosis of idiopathic scoliosis between the ages of 10-19, living in Istanbul and their healthy peers will be included in the study. The subjects will be divided into 3 groups: Group 1: Subjects with AIS with 10⁰-24⁰ Cobb angle, Group 2: Subjects with AIS with 25⁰-40⁰ Cobb angle, Group 3: Healthy adolescents in the same age group (control group).

Brief summary: The aim of the study is to compare the spine joint reposition sense in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and healthy adolescents and to investigate whether there is a difference.

Detailed description: Considering the role of proprioception during activities of daily living and exercises, it is important for clinicians and researchers to determine the joint position senses of adolescents with scoliosis and to compare them with their healthy peers in planning appropriate treatment programs. In the light of this information, the aim of the study is to compare the spine joint reposition sense in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and healthy adolescents and to investigate whether there is a difference. Patients who were diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Istanbul University and who were referred to the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation of the Faculty of Health Sciences of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa and Biruni University and their healthy peers will be included in the study.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Being between the ages of 10 and 19 years
* Having a Cobb angle of 10-40 degrees measured on the anteroposterior radiograph or a healthy spine alignment (Forward Bend Test \< 5⁰ (negative) and Flexicurve Kyphosis Index ≤13)
* No previous conservative approach to scoliosis
* Volunteer to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

* Concomitant mental problem, rheumatological, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, pulmonary history
* Any orthopedic disability or severe pain that would preclude evaluations
* Musculoskeletal injury related to the spine in the last 3 months
* Having had spine surgery
* Presence of tumor in the spine
* Loss of vision and/or hearing/presence of vestibular problems
