Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

line 62 - there is a lack of reference

reference nr 7 and 16 are the same paper

why do data from tables 2 and 3 are not the same? title and parameters are the same, but there are differences in values.

small study group and small experienced therapists group are the paper's weak points, which should be mentioned.

Reviewer 3 Report

This manuscript by Sanja Schreiber et al presented a clinical study to develop a new Schroth classification algorithm and tested the reliability using clinical patients as subject and therapist as rater. The study is important to standardize classifications of idiopathic scoliosis and guided their exercise therapy. The study is well designed and implemented study and the manuscript is well written. Recommend to accept in current form.

Lines 254-255, please make it more clear for the following sentence:

 

“Therefore, comparisons with other reliability classification reliability studies are difficult.”.
