The effects of a four-week intensive scoliosis-specific exercise programme on patient-reported quality of life in adult subjects with idiopathic scoliosis: a >3 years follow-up study

چکیده
Design/methods The data set was composed of 731 adult patients (578 females and 153 males) with idiopathic scoliosis and a mean age of 33 years (range 18-64 years, SD 14.68) who were treated with a four-week intensive course of scoliosis-specific physiotherapy (the ScolioGold method) between 2006 and 2013. All patients were asked to rate their QoL on their first day of treatment, at the end of their four-week course and at any subsequent check-up appointments they attended, using a modified version of the SRS-30 questionnaire (replacing ‘surgery’ with ‘treatment’). Each subset, which was analysed from the original data set, was determined by having data pretreatment and at the relevant time point.
