English: Graph showing the incidence of scoliosis progression according to the progression factor, which is calculated by the formula: Cobb Angle - (3 x Risser Sign) Progression Factor = ──────────────────────────────── Chronological Age
Another study has further shown that the peak rate of growth during puberty can actually be higher in individuals with scoliosis than those without, further exacerbating the issue of rapid worsening of the scoliosis curves. [8] Moderately severe scoliosis (30–45 degrees) in a child who is still growing requires bracing. A 2013 study by ...
Scoliosis affects 2–3% of the United States population, or about five to nine million cases. [4] A scoliosis (spinal column curve) of 10° or less affects 1.5–3% of individuals.

Each question is scored on a scale of 0–5 with the first statement being zero and indicating the least amount of disability and the last statement is scored 5 indicating most severe disability. [2] The scores for all questions answered are summed, then multiplied by two to obtain the index (range 0 to 100).
