Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the relation of scoliosis with coronal and sagittal balance parameters and the effect of postural balancing in young adults with idiopathic scoliosis.Patients and methods: Between April 2017 and June 2017, a total of 24 patients (7 males, 24 females; mean age 20.3 +/- 2 years; range 17 to 24) who were diagnosed with scoliosis and 65 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (20 males, 45 females; mean age 20.3 +/- 1.6 years; range 19 to 25) were included in the study. The Cobb angle, sagittal balance, coronal balance, and truncal shift were measured with radiographs in the patient group. The Biodex Balance System (BBS) was used to assess the general stability index, anterior-posterior and medial-lateral stability index, and fall risk.Results: All balance parameters were significantly worse in the patient group than in the control group (p
