This graph gives an estimate of the area of the potential evolution of the vertebral deformity (orange area) considering the current Cobb angle of the primary curve, the age, Risser (calculated according to European standard), and the onset age of the pathology (juvenile/adolescent).
The parameters have been calculated by evaluating 1800 radiographs of patients affected by scoliosis, not previously treated with a brace or specific exercises.
A scientific study is underway to validate the data; this graph should, therefore, be considered experimental, even if it has already proven to be useful in the daily clinic.
