Abstract
Study design All fifty-eight patients (17% male, 83% female) who finished their treatment in the Centre of Vigevano of our Institute were included. Mean Cobb angle at the start of treatment was 22.6 ± 10.6 degrees (see Table 1), and mean age was 13.4 ± 2.4 years. Treatment groups considered included exercises, bracing+exercises, cast+exercises. Starting Cobb degrees, by groups, were: 11–20, 21–30, 31–40, over 40 degrees (see Table 2).
