Brief summary: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common form of scoliosis. Although an increasing number of studies suggest that an abnormal sensory-motor integration critically contributes to the cause of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis , there is uncertainty about the level of the central nervous system explaining this dysfunction. Therefore, the planned master's thesis study aims to compare proprioception, tactile acuity, right-left reasoning ability, motor imagery ability, including the evaluation of body schema, which is a sensorimotor representation in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients with healthy individuals. In addition, the relationship of these markers with posture results, body perception and quality of life of individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will be investigated as a secondary aim.
