  1. aSubjects are recruited from the 31 patients who have developed scoliosis during the follow up period
  2. Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation
  3. Time 1 represents the time when scoliosis was first detected after loss of walking ability
  4. Time 2 represents the time 1 year after the detection of scoliosis
  5. Time 3 represents the time 2 years after the detection of scoliosis
