Braced EOS patients had longer bracing time and operated EOS patients had longer fusions compared to the respective AIS groups. Braced EOS patients had similar total ROM (thoracic ROM 40\u00b0, lumbar ROM 78\u00b0) and TME (trunk flexors 140\u00a0s, trunk extensors 255\u00a0s) as untreated AIS patients (thoracic ROM 34\u00b0, lumbar ROM 88\u00b0, trunk flexor endurance 158\u00a0s, trunk extensor endurance 234\u00a0s). Braced patients also had significantly better results than braced AIS patients. Operated EOS patients were slightly but significantly stronger and more mobile compared to AIS peers. The lumbar ROM was found to affect the back function in the operated EOS group (Oswestry Questionnaire, rs\u2009=\u20090.49,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The braced EOS patients had mostly similar muscle strength and mobility as the untreated but younger AIS group, while the braced AIS group showed reductions of both strength and mobility.
