		<description><![CDATA[The objective of this study was to determine overall, test–retest and inter-rater reliability of posture indices among persons with idiopathic scoliosis. Seventy participants aged between 10 and 20 years with different types of idiopathic scoliosis (Cobb angle 15 to 60°) were recruited from the scoliosis clinic. Based on the XY co-ordinates of natural reference points [...]
