The commonly used questionnaires include Scoliosis Research Society Questionnaire specifically designed for scoliosis patients. Parents can help by noticing if there are any changes about emotions of your child at the start of brace treatment.<br><br>Studies have shown that patient\u2019s health-related quality of life can be affected during bracing, though it is only transient. That can be due to the new brace which the patient needs to get used to, or peer pressure when wearing brace at school for instance. It is worthwhile for the patient who is just prescribed with bracing to see the clinical psychologist, depending on the various emotional status a child is at during his\/her pubertal growth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":15932,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-16029","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scoliosis.hku.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scoliosis.hku.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scoliosis.hku.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scoliosis.hku.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scoliosis.hku.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16029"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/scoliosis.hku.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16029\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16268,"href":"https:\/\/scoliosis.hku.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16029\/revisions\/16268"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scoliosis.hku.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scoliosis.hku.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
