A correction has been made to “2. Materials and Methods”, “2.2. Interventions”, “2.2.1. Hypercorrective Boston Brace Night Shift”: The Title “Hypercorrective Boston Brace Night Shift” should be changed to “Hypercorrective Boston Scoliosis Night Brace”.
A correction has been made to “2. Materials and Methods”, “2.2. Interventions”, “2.2.1. Hypercorrective Boston Brace Night Shift”: “hypercorrective Boston brace night shift” should be changed to “hypercorrective Boston scoliosis night brace”.
2. Error in Table
In the original publication, there was a mistake in “Table 6” as published. Four data are missing in the NB group: Worse 7 (18), Unchanged 27 (71), Better 4 (10) and Indeterminable 0 (0). The corrected “Table 6” appears below.

EQ-5D-Y: EuroQol 5-Dimensions Youth; NB: hypercorrective Boston brace night shift; SSE: scoliosis-specific exercise; PA: adequate self-mediated physical activity; NA: not applicable—the distribution is a constant in self-care. Paretian Classification of Health Change: 1 The health state is worse in at least one dimension, and is no better in any other dimension; 2 the health state is exactly the same; 3 the health state is better in at least one dimension and is no worse in any other dimension; 4 the changes in health are “mixed”—better in one dimension, but worse in another.
