“…These methods emerged as an alternative to the radiographic evaluation method as it reduces exposure of patients who have scoliosis to excessive radiation, it is easier to evaluate in the clinic and it has a reduced cost, when compared to radiographic examination. Examples of these non-radiographic methods are the Moiré photograph [4][5][6] , the Quantec System 7 , the electric goniometer 8 and the scoliometer 2,3,[9][10][11][12][13][14] .…”

“…Esse raio-x intitulado exame-teste foi eliminado da pesquisa. Os observadores utilizaram-se do mesmo lápis, da mesma régua (50 cm) 8,13,22 e fizeram a leitura, igualmente, com o mesmo goniômetro de dupla haste (Kroman®).…”

“…Além disso, houve relação significativa excelente 8 (r = 0,80; r 2 = 0,64; p = 0,001) nas mensurações do ân-gulo de Cobb intraobservador. Mior et al 8 considera que uma correlação abaixo de 0,55 é insatisfatória, entre 0,55 e 0,64 é fraca, entre 0,65 e 0,76 é boa e, acima de 0,77 é excelente, para alfa de 0,005 e 95% de intervalo de confiança.…”
