A new brace treatment similar for adolescent scoliosis and kyphosis based on restoration of thoracolumbar lordosis. Radiological and subjective clinical results after at least one year of treatment

Table 2 The mean and standard deviation (mean ± SD) of the difference in Cobb angles is shown separately for the two groups for various curves in two planes for comparison at the start of treatment with and without brace T0 ^OB-IB and after one year of brace treatment and the progression (Prog) rate after one year(T0 ^OB -T1)

	Pair	Group B kyphosis +/− scoliosis <25°			Prog rate	Group A scoliosis ≥25°			Prog rate
