Study start date: August 23, 2018

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

In the initial evaluation, the degree of spine is measured quantitatively using Cobb's angle and Muscular Dystrophy Spine Questionnaire (MDSQ). The patients who had Cobbs angle of 20-45 'by spinal plain radiography were evaluated for the effects of flexpine brace wearing and rehabilitation for 6 months. After 12 months, whole spine X-ray was taken for the followed up the patient's status.
