Excerpt

The objective of this study was to report full-torso surface topography (ST) parameters and to determine test-retest standard error of measurement (SEM) in adolescents without spinal deformities. ST is used to quantify the external deformity of the torso due to scoliosis. A normative ST database is being developed to help interpret the ST parameters used to describe scoliosis. Test-retest SEM has not been estimated for most parameters in this population. …
