Bilateral paraspinal oxygen recovery times (Tr) at T9 and L3 were measured using near-infrared spectroscopy. TrAsy (between-side Tr difference) was analyzed using mixed-design ANOVA with group (AIS vs. controls) and side (convex vs. concave) factors; Welch\u2019s ANOVAs assessed TrAsy differences by curve severity and location. The association between thoracic Cobb angles and TrAsy was evaluated using multiple linear regression, adjusting for covariates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      AIS cases (Cobb angles: 22.9\u00b0\u00b16.8\u00b0) showed significantly longer Tr on the concave side at T9 (74.6s\u2009\u00b1\u200910.1s vs. 50.1s\u2009\u00b1\u200916.8s;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), with no significant between-side difference at L3 in both groups analyzed collectively (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.31).
