Summary:Summary Serial body casting plays an important role in the treatment of early onset scoliosis (EOS), serving as an effective, safer method compared to surgical intervention. The health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with EOS of idiopathic etiology begins within a normal range, but declines while in cast and remains lower after the casting treatment is complete. While patients with non-idiopathic EOS begin with a lower HRQoL, their in-cast deterioration is smaller and recovers after casting is completed.
