Abstract :ABSTRACT This study aimed to examine the right-left discrimination of hands, feet and back in individuals with scoliosis. In the study, right-left discrimination performance was evaluated with the mobile application called Recognize, radiographic features of scoliosis were evaluated with X-ray, degree of rotation was evaluated with the mobile application called Scoliodetector, and back pain was evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale. 25 individuals with idiopathic scoliosis were included in the analysis. In the comparison made according to the thoracolumbar and lumbar curve, no difference was found between the groups in the lateralization performances (p>0.05). In the comparison according to the type of curve, no significant difference was observed in the reaction time and accuracy rate between the groups (p>0.05). When comparing the lateralization performance according to the direction of the curve, a significant difference was found between the groups in the left foot and back reaction times (p<0.05). Weak or very weak correlations were shown between Cobb and rotation angle and lateralization measurements of the back, hand and foot. It has been shown that the location and type of the curve (C or S) does not have a significant effect on lateralization performance in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis, however, the direction of the curve may affect the discrimination of right and left.
