چکیده
Methods Setting: outpatient tertiary referral clinics. Participants: consecutive patients from start of the database to 31/12/2010. Inclusion criteria: IS; Risser 0-2; 11° to 20° Cobb; age 10 years or more; first evaluation. Exclusion criteria: consultations only; immediate prescription of a brace. Groups: Physiotherapic Specific Scoliosis Exercises SEAS school (PSSE: at least 45 min/week, 3 cognitivebehavioral sessions/year); Controls (CON: less than 15 min/week); Usual Physiotherapy (UP: other institutes/ protocols). End-Of-Treatment (EOT): medical prescription, bracing, Risser 3. Failures: bracing for scoliosis; EOT above 30°. Statistical analysis: intent-to-treat (ITT: drop-outs included as failures) and efficacy (EA: only EOT patients). Relative Risk of failure (RR), 95% Confidence Interval (CI), and clinical and radiographic changes have been calculated.

BACKGROUND CONTEXT The main distinctive aspect of Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis (JIS) with respect to Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the high risk of severe deformity and surgery. Approximately 70% of curves in patients with JIS progress and ultimately require surgery.
