Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
x raythe cranio-cervical flexion test
x ray: whole spine x ray posterioanterior and lateral views
the cranio-cervical flexion test: measure of deep neck flexors muscles endurance
Study summary
Purpose of This study to detect if there is correlation between the Cobb's angle and the forward head posture in patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.
And if there is correlation between the Cobb's angle and the cervical sagittal curve angle in AIS. And also if there is correlation between the Cobb's angle and deep flexors muscles endurance in AIS

Inclusion Criteria:
* 1- Patients with AIS. 2- Patient with forward head posture CVA less than 48 degress. (Fard et al .,2021) 3- Patients aged between 10 and 18 years, (Upasani et al., 2007). 4- Patients who underwent Posterioanterior (PA) and lateral X-ray radiography, and Cobb angle \>10°.(Nasser et al.,2023) 5- Patients with Lenke types (1 to 6). 6- No previous spine surgery ((Wang, et al., 2017).
Exclusion Criteria:
* 1- Patients with congenital scoliosis (including hemivertebrae, butterfly vertebrae, and failure of segmentation), (Shu-Man Han et al., 2022 and Nasser et al., 2023).
2- Other developmental thoracic deformity (funnel chest etc.). 3- Scoliosis with definitive reasons (secondary to neurofibromatosis, Marfan syndrome, and syringomyelia).
4- Patients with neurologic deficit or spondylolisthesis (Upasani et al., 2007).
5- History of spinal trauma and infection, and metabolic bone disease.
Primary outcome measure(s)
1- Measurement of Craniovertebral angle CVA — within 3 months from enrollment We will measure The Craniovertebral angle by the photogrammetric method
Measurement of Cobb's angle — within 3 months from enrollment Measurement of Cobb's angle from whole spine xray
Measurement of sagittal cervical curve angle — within 3 months from enrollment Measurement of cervical spines sagittal curve from lateral view X-ray
4- Measurement of deep flexors muscle endurance. — within 3 months from enrollment Activation and performance scores will be recorded.
