Early‐onset scoliosis in children aged 4–7 years in Nanjing, China: A cross‐sectional study
Using visual inspection, the Adams test, and an electronic scoliometer to measure the ATR, the present triad method is more sensitive for early scoliosis screening in children with abnormal posture aged 4-7 years. A full spine X-ray is advised in children with an ATR over 4.5° and poor posture.
