The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence and etiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in the Nanchang region. Elementary and middle school students who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study and school-based scoliosis screening was conducted. Diagnosis of suspected scoliosis was determined by physical examination, Adams forward bend test, measurement of trunk rotation angle, and Standing Anteroposterior X-ray of the Spine. The prevalence of suspected scoliosis among elementary and middle school students was calculated. At the same time, the researchers kept detailed records of all costs incurred in the school screening.
Age 9-14 years old, enrolled in elementary or middle school.
Local residents of Nanchang, excluding students from special schools for children with physical or intellectual disabilities.

Diagnostic testFootscan Plantar Pressure Test Parameters
The results of the Footscan plantar pressure test parameters for participants included total pressure on the left foot, total pressure on the right foot, forefoot pressure on both sides, and hindfoot pressure on both sides.
Physical Examination
The examinee has a bare back, stands naturally, feet shoulder-width apart, eyes flat, arms down, palms facing inward. The examiner observes whether the patient's shoulders are equal in height; whether the angles of both subscapularis are at the same level; whether the lumbar concavity is symmetrical on both sides; whether the iliac crests are equal in height bilaterally; and whether the spinous processes are deviating from the median axis.
