Official title
Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of the Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis-Truncal Anterior Asymmetry Scoliosis Questionnaire (TAASQ)
Overview
The survey examines how individuals with scoliosis define themselves and their physical appearance. Our aim in this study was to translate this survey into Turkish and demonstrate its reliability and validity.
Detailed description
The "Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis-Truncal Anterior Asymmetry Scoliosis Questionnaire" was developed to investigate how individuals with scoliosis feel about their frontal body appearance. The survey was developed by BS Lonner and colleagues and published in 2023. It consists of 14 questions. Female patients with scoliosis are asked to answer these questions personally. Permission for the Turkish validity and reliability of the survey was requested and received on November 18, 2024. The survey questions how individuals with scoliosis define themselves and their physical perception of their bodies. The aim of this study is to translate this survey into Turkish and demonstrate its reliability and validity. This study will examine the test-retest reliability and internal consistency of the Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis-Truncal Anterior Asymmetry Scoliosis Questionnaire (TAASQ), and its validity with the SRS-22 and Walter Reed questionnaires. This study was designed as an intra-rater and intra-rater reliability and structural validity study.
