Table 3 Change in LC, GRC and presentation of improved and deteriorated participants beyond SEM
Overall n = 40 | Schroth exercises + Standard of care; n = 20 | Standard of care; n = 20 |
|---|---|---|
Change in largest curve overall (°) at 6-months (LC at 6 months – LC at baseline) | − 1.82 ± 3.21 | 2.33 ± 4.20 |
GRC (n ± SD) at 6-months | + 4.43 ± 2.2 | −0.09 ± 1.59 |
Change in largest curve with GRC ≥ + 2 (°) | −1.33 ± 3.98 | NA |
Change in largest curve with GRC ≤ + 1 (°) | NA | 1.56 ± 4.09 |
Improved beyond SEM = 2.5 (n, %) | 8 (40%) | 0 (0%) |
Deteriorated beyond SEM = 2.5° (n, %) | 2 (10%) | 9 (45%) |
