Two school examination schemes for scoliosis were compared in a defined population of 13,757 children. During the first period, there was no screening program. During the second period, all children in grades 4-8 were examined yearly by forward-bending tests. Brace treatments were started in 0.39%. The two periods did not differ significantly with respect to frequency of children regularly observed for scoliosis by orthopedic surgeons, frequency of brace treatment, age at detection, or mean scoliotic curve at the start of treatment. A single forward-bending test in grade 4 appears to be sufficient for detection of scoliosis requiring treatment.
在13757名儿童的特定人群中，对两种脊柱侧弯学校检查方案进行了比较。在第一阶段，没有筛查计划。在第二阶段，4至8年级的所有儿童每年通过前屈试验进行检查。支具治疗的启动率为0.39%。在骨科医生定期观察脊柱侧弯儿童的频率、支具治疗频率、发现时的年龄或治疗开始时的平均脊柱侧弯曲线方面，这两个阶段没有显著差异。四年级的单次前屈试验似乎足以检测出需要治疗的脊柱侧弯。
