This study confirmed the effectiveness of sole lift intervention in correcting TL/L and thoracic curves among the mild IS children with a main TL/L curve, providing a supplementary conservative treatment option for patients with the lower limb at the convexity of the main curve. Moreover, our findings underscored the active compensation of the lower limbs and the pelvis in the etiopathogenesis of IS, highlighting the importance of considering their influence in treatment strategies.
