Note
*according to Nachemson and Peterson, success of treatment was defined as an increase in the curve of less than 6° from the start of bracing
**the degree of the apical translation of center sacral vertical line (CSVL) according to the Harms Study Group; Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22); Bad Sobberheim Stress Questionnaire-Deformity (BSSQ-Deformity); Bad Sobberheim Stress Questionnaire-Brace (BSSQ-Brace).
