Özet

Introduction: Early-onset scoliosis (EOS) can have negative effects on the developing thorax, lungs, and quality of life in general. Children with EOS can face various health problems and require recurring hospitalization and surgeries. Radiographic parameters are insufficient to evaluate the severity and efficacy of treatment in EOS. Early-onset Scoliosis Questionnaire (EOSQ)-24 questionnaire is a new instrument developed for this specific age group. To date, reliability of this questionnaire has not yet been interrogated in wide patient groups from different cultures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of culturally adapted Turkish version of the EOSQ-24.
