Advances in 3D correction of adolescent scoliosis: The superiority of scoliocorrector fatma-UI in rotational realignment

Table 2 The comparison of scoliocorrector fatma-UI with both the conservative treatment method and direct vertebral rotation

Treatment method	Method name	Angle reduction degrees (SD)	Sample size	Average age (SD)	Average duration of treatment (week)	Outcome measures	Ref.
Improved	SCFUI	3.17 (2.19)	21	15.92 (0.35)	N/A	Rotational angle
	DVR	1.19 (2.11)	23	15.73 (1.51)	N/A	Rotational angle	[1]
Conservative	Core Strength Training	3.82	110	13.23 (2.40)	12	Cobb angle
	PSSE	3.79	95	12.82 (1.19)	24	Cobb angle
	Yoga	4.60	32	18.63 (0.91)	12	Cobb angle
	Schroth	3.63	34	14.70 (1.30)	24	Cobb angle	[35]

Compared to the conservative treatment method, the improved treatment method achieved better Cobb angle results and significantly improved the rotational angle. In comparison with direct vertebral rotation, scoliocorrector fatma-UI (SCFUI) showed similar coronal and sagittal correction but better rotational correction. However, SCFUI demonstrated a more significant effect in improving the Rotational angle (t = 3.05, P = 0.0039). SCFUI: Scoliocorrector fatma-UI; DVR: Direct vertebral rotation; PSSE: Physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercise.
