Abstract

Background: In adolescence the idiopathic scoliosis is evident to occur in about 1.3% to 13% of the young population. Where a pathological lateral curvature appears on both young boys and girls, but obviously targeting more girls than boys. Scoliotic patients tends to make compensations to maintain the horizontal gaze including head compensations that might lead to deformities as the forward head and lateral tilt and rotational shifts about the cervical axis. Specifically, forward head posture, has been linked to compensatory mechanisms in patients with spinal deformities, including scoliosis especially in the thoracic region and the lumbar region. Aim: This study investigates the correlation between mobile application postural changes and radiological findings in adolescent idiopathic scoliotic patients around the head Subjects and Methods: Thirty adolescent females with age ranges from 14 to 17 years participated in this study. Translation and rotation of the head around the x and y axis of the head was measured by the Biotonix posture assistant mobile application and the spine was measured by the full spine x ray to detect the radiological changes of the spine. Results: There was a statistically significant correlation between posture changes of the head using the Biotonix posture assistant mobile application and the radiological findings using the x-ray
