The median of the score of the questionnaire: (a) the patients treated with a brace, examined with the BSSQ-Brace, (b) the patients managed with exercises, examined with the BSSQ-Deformity. The ten patients admitted for spinal surgery were divided into groups (a) or (b), depending on whether they previously had brace treatment or not. The squares indicate the value of the median; the slim lines indicate the minimum and maximum.
