| description | Introduction: This study investigated brace-related stress, trunk appearance perception, and quality of life in adolescent girls with idiopathic scoliosis who wear the Milwaukee brace for treatment.
Methods: Fifty-two adolescent girls with idiopathic scoliosis participated in this study. They had been under treatment with Milwaukee brace for at least three months. They filled out four questionnaires, including the revised 22-item Scoliosis Research Society questionnaire (SRS-22r), the Brace Questionnaire (BrQ), the Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire-Brace (BSSQ-Brace), and the Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS).
Results: Twenty participants had high stress levels, and thirty-two had moderate stress levels. The total score and emotional and social function scores of the BrQ were significantly higher in participants with high stress compared to those with moderate stress. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the SRS-22r and TAPS questionnaires scores. However, a high Cobb angle had significantly worsened their perception of trunk appearance.
Conclusions: It seems that among quality-of-life parameters, social and emotional functions are more affected by stress level in treating adolescent girls with idiopathic scoliosis with a brace. In addition, patients with high stress levels have a worse perception of their trunk appearance. |
