Right-Handed Girls With Rt-Ais Measured Using Holtain Equipment Have Upper Arm Length Asymmetry (Right-Minus-Left) Which Is: 1) Relatively Longer On Scoliosis Curve Convexity; 2) Significantly Associated With Scoliosis Curve Severity (Cobb Angle And Apical Vertebral Rotation); And 3) Transient, Decreasing With Age And Years After Menarche [1,2]. The Aim Is To Test Whether The Right Upper Arm Length Relative Overgrowth And Spinal Deformity Severity Were Associated With Right Or Left Upper Arm Length Size-For-Age. 94 Right-Handed Girls With Rt-Ais, Age 11–18 Years, (Mean Cobb Angle 46 Degrees, Range 10–102 Degrees), Were Evaluated Using A Harpenden Anthropometer For Upper Arm Length Asymmetry, Plotted Against Right And Left Upper Arm Length Standard Deviation Scores (Sds), Calculated From 378 Normal Girls, Age 11–18 Years.Aim:
