- Conditions

- Interventions
- Other: TRACE 2
- Registration Number
- NCT05912140
- Lead Sponsor
- Istituto Scientifico Italiano Colonna Vertebrale
- Brief Summary
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine and the trunk. TRACE (Trunk Aesthetic Clinical Evaluation) is an aesthetics assessment tool for patients with scoliosis. It has been validated with Rasch analysis is easily usable in daily clinical practice. Despite this tool being more sensitive in detecting changes in aesthetics during treatment compared to other existing ones, its reliability is still low, probably due to the small number of elements that make up the rating scale.
This study aims to develop a new version of the TRACE tool by adding new items. The development of TRACE2 in a Rasch environment will ensure greater sensitivity and specificity of the scale assessment.
