Table 2.

Numbers of participants who improved or not their LC by more than 1° and reporting or not perceived improvement of GRC ≥ + 2 overall and in each therapy group

Overall
N = 40 (%)
Predictive values of the test, % (95% CI) Schroth exercises + Standard of care, n = 20 Standard of care, n = 20
True positive: Improved based on GRC ≥ 2 and LC change > MID of 10 (n, %) 12 (30%) 67 (41–86) 12 (60%) 0 (0%)
True negative: Not improved based on GRC < 2 and LC change ≤ MID of 10 (n, %) 16 (40%) 73 (49–88) 1 (5%) 15 (75%)
False positive: Improved based on GRC ≥ 2 but LC change ≤ MID of 10 (n, %) 6 (15%) 33 (14–59) 5 (25%) 1 (5%)
False negative: Not improved based on GRC < 2 but LC change > MID of 10 (n, %) 6 (15%) 27 (12–50) 2 (10%) 4 (20%)
