A standard exam that is often used by doctors and an initial school screenings is called the Adam's Forward Bend Test. For this test, the patient is asked to lean forward with his or her feet together and bend 90 degrees at the waist.

It should be noted that this is a simple screening test that can detect potential problems, but cannot determine accurately the exact severity of the deformity.
