Spinal deformity is common in childhood and adolescence, and can often present as scoliosis or increased thoracic kyphosis deformity with various etiologies.The diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle, and diaphragm contraction is associated with respiratory functions.Any spinal deformity, especially one that affects the thoracic spine, can affect lung function.In the planned thesis study, investigators will measure the diaphragm thickness in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients with scoliosis deformities affecting the thoracic region, whether there is any relationship between the impact in the thoracic region and the diaphragm thickness, and the three-dimensional exercise (Schroth exercise-Barcelona Schroth therapy) applied in investigators' clinic for scoliosis, before and after the treatment of the diaphragm. Investigators aimed to show whether there is any change in thickness.
