Study population: Adolescents diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis between the ages of 12-18 who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in our study.

Brief summary: Postural stability is one of the most important factors that determine a person's ability to make and maintain movements. It has been reported that in the presence of scoliosis, the postural stability of people is negatively affected due to somatosensory disorders. There are many studies in the literature that evaluate the postural stability of cases diagnosed with scoliosis with objective methods. Evaluation of postural oscillations with objective devices is used to determine whether postural stability changes in AIS and whether the type and location of scoliosis affect the progression. The most commonly used objective devices for this purpose are balanced assessment systems in which changes in postural sway are recorded on the force platform. Our study aims to investigate the reliability of the "Postural Stability", "Limits of Stability", "Sensory Integration" and "Bilateral Comparison" tests of the Al Balance Balance Exercise and Analysis System in cases with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. After the demographic information of the cases that meet the inclusion criteria within the scope of the study is recorded, postural stability and balance evaluations within the Al Balance System will be performed on the cases. Evaluations will be carried out with bare feet and feet positioned at the same coordinates.

The tests will last 30 seconds and the test will be repeated a total of 3 times with a 1-minute rest between tests. These measurements will be repeated after 7 days to evaluate reliability.

With this study, the reliability of a new and local balance assessment system will be tested in cases with AIS.
