About

In the initial evaluation, the degree of spine is measured quantitatively using Cobb's angle and Muscular Dystrophy Spine Questionnaire (MDSQ). The patients who had Cobbs angle of 20-45 'by spinal plain radiography were evaluated for the effects of flexpine brace wearing and rehabilitation for 6 months. After 12 months, whole spine X-ray was taken for the followed up the patient's status.
