I was going to post this in further response to Linda's question about the Greek study parameters but I see the thread is locked. I hope I didnt offend anyone, perhaps the conversation took a turn towards some things best not discussed in a public forum.
Anyway, Linda asked about initial curve information and I posted the link on the now-locked thread. I obtained the follow up paper and wanted to share the following:
Of the 80 children who demonstrated complete spontaneous resolution of the scoliotic deformity, 41% (n = 33) had left thoracolumbar curves and 78.8% (n = 63) had an initial curve magnitude of between 10° and 12° (Table 2).
and, Table 2 is attached.
So these were mostly small curves which "Spontaneously" corrected. It is interesting that they didnt attribute this to measurement error. Nor did I see it spelled out if the curve went to zero or just fell below 10 degrees. Maybe I didnt read it carefully enough.
