A validation study on the traditional Chinese version of Spinal Appearance Questionnaire for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Purpose “Simplified Chinese” version of Spinal Appearance Questionnaire (SC-SAQ) for patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) was available but did not fit for communities using “Traditional Chinese” as their primary language. We developed a traditional Chinese version of SAQ (TC-SAQ) and evaluated its reliability and validity.
