Abstract
Study design A retrospective unselected series of fifty consecutive patients (48 females, age 15.7 years) diagnosed with IS, were measured with the formetric system [3] before and after an intensive course of rehabilitation. This system provides quantitative values to asses the spine in the frontal, sagittal and transversal planes. We have designed a specific scale based on objective data in order to define the vertebral column in the sagittal plane as harmonic (minimum score 0) or disharmonic (maximum score 20).

We have designed a specific scale based on objective data in order to define the vertebral column in the sagittal plane as harmonic or disharmonic
Maximum and regional sagittal angles decreased, the harmonic score improved from 10.4 to 9.6 (p < 0.05)
Summary
To evaluate the three-dimensional (3D) correction effect, in the sagittal plane, of Schroth exercises [1,2] in patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) by using a surface topography system
