“…Others reported that wearing a brace may lead to various psychological reactions such as negative thoughts, stress and anxiety, emotional instability, and disturbance of self-image or self-esteem of individuals with AIS [9][10][11] . These differences might be due to the level of satisfaction with management 12) , severity of scoliosis curvature 13) , brace type 14) , cultural differences, and brace-related stress 15,16) . In some societies, individuals use a special cover when they appear in the society to hide the brace underneath the dress and therefore reduce the psychological effect of the brace 9,10) .…”

Introduction:This study investigated brace-related stress, trunk appearance perception, and quality of life in adolescent girls with idiopathic scoliosis who wear the Milwaukee brace for treatment.Methods: Fifty-two adolescent girls with idiopathic scoliosis participated in this study. They had been under treatment with Milwaukee brace for at least three months. They filled out four questionnaires, including the revised 22-item Scoliosis Research Society questionnaire (SRS-22r), the Brace Questionnaire (BrQ), the Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire-Brace (BSSQ-Brace), and the Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS).Results: Twenty participants had high stress levels, and thirty-two had moderate stress levels. The total score and emotional and social function scores of the BrQ were significantly higher in participants with high stress compared to those with moderate stress. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the SRS-22r and TAPS questionnaires scores. However, a high Cobb angle had significantly worsened their perception of trunk appearance.Conclusions: It seems that among quality-of-life parameters, social and emotional functions are more affected by stress level in treating adolescent girls with idiopathic scoliosis with a brace. In addition, patients with high stress levels have a worse perception of their trunk appearance.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common type of scoliosis that affects children aged 10 to 18 years old, manifesting in a three dimensional spinal deformity. This study aimed to explore outcome measures used in de ning AIS treatment success. Particularly, analyzing the extent of radiographic and quality of life domains used and whether AIS treatment approaches (surgical, bracing, physiotherapy etc.) in uences outcomes used as proxies of treatment success. MethodsEMBASE and MEDLINE databases were used to conduct a systematic scoping review with 158 papers screened for data extraction. Extractable variables included: study characteristics, study participant characteristics, type of study, type of intervention approach and outcome measures. ResultsAll 158 studies measured quantitative outcomes. 61.38% of papers used radiographic outcomes whilst 38.62% of papers used quantitative quality of life outcomes to evaluate treatment success. Irrespective of treatment intervention utilized, the type of quantitative outcome measure recorded did not differ signi cantly. Moreover, of the radiographic outcome measures, the subcategory Cobb angle was predominantly used across all intervention approaches. For quantitative quality of life measures, questionnaires investigating multiple domains such as SRS were primarily used as proxies of AIS treatment success across all intervention approaches. ConclusionThis study identi ed that no articles employed qualitative measures of describing the psychosocial implications of AIS in de ning treatment success. Although quantitative measures have merit in clinical diagnoses and management, there is increasing value in using qualitative methods such as thematic analysis in guiding clinicians to develop a biopsychosocial approach for patient care.
