Statistical Analysis of Raw Data in Scoliotic (Thoracic Curve) Study
Scoliotic Study [n=25]

Inclusion Criteria:
  • All subjects diagnosed as Ideopathic Scoliosis
  • All subjects have thoracic curves
Procedure:  The following null hypothesis was constructed and tested using the One Sample t-Test (Analyse-it + General, version 1.73) on the raw date (see below). 
  • Hoa:  There is no relationship between the most pronated foot and the direction of the thoracic curve
Results: One-tailed P value = 0.0415
Conclusion: At confidence level = 99%, the null hypothesis Hoa was rejected



Legend:
Pfg = Greatest Pronated Foot
TCd = Direction of Thoracic Curve
PPs = Side of Posterior Protuberance (determined using Adams Test) (See Figure A below)
PPm = Measured Posterior Protuberance (using spinal inclinometer) (See Figure B below)
