Evaluation of the Stress Level of Children with Idiopathic Scoliosis in relation to the Method of Treatment and Parameters of the Deformity

Table 3

The correlation of the BSSQs scores with the parameters of scoliosis, the time of brace wearing, and the physical activity.

	BSSQ deformity (𝑛=73)	BSSQ brace (𝑛=21)
Angle of curvature	𝑟=−0.32; 𝑃=0.007	—
Length of curvature (number of vertebrae)	𝑟=−0.11; 𝑃=0.38	—
Thoracic apical vertebra rotation	𝑟=0.28; 𝑃=0.33	—
Lumbar apical vertebra rotation	𝑟=−0.66; 𝑃=0.002	—
Brace wearing time (hours/day)	—	𝑟=0.13; 𝑃=0.57
Physical activity (hours/week)	𝑟=0.24; 𝑃=0.04	—

𝑟: The coefficient of correlation, 𝑃: Level of significance.
