Clear, clinician-reviewed guides on how a scoliometer works, how to measure trunk rotation correctly, and what your numbers actually mean.
Start with the fundamentals, then move to interpretation, comparison, and the wider screening picture. Each guide is written for parents, patients, and first-time users — and reviewed by a clinician.

Measured in degrees of trunk rotation. Screening only — not a diagnosis.
Typically routine. Keep monitoring at regular intervals to establish a baseline.
Re-measure carefully and watch the trend. A borderline number is a prompt to track, not to panic.
Commonly the threshold for professional evaluation. A ~5° increase between checks also warrants review.
A scoliometer measures trunk rotation only. It cannot on its own confirm or exclude scoliosis — use these bands to decide when to seek a professional assessment.
The Scoliometer app turns your phone into a screening instrument — measure trunk rotation, log every reading, and watch the trend over time.
