Methods Design: retrospective pre-post study. Protocol: in our database we searched for all patients who were prescribed a Sibilla, or Sforzesco Brace, 21h per day or more for AIS, 30-35° Cobb, more than 10 years old at first evaluation, and no previous brace treatment. We compared data from the last visit before beginning the brace, and the first visit after 6 months of brace treatment. Sforzesco group (SFG): 78 patients (10 males), age13.6±1.6, 32.9±1.9° Cobb, TRACE 6; 5-8 (median, IQ), ATR 10.8±3° Bunnell, Risser 0.5; 0-2 (median, IQ), BMI 19.24. Sibilla Group (SI-G): 44 patients (5 males), age 12.6±1.6, 32.1±1.6° Cobb, TRACE 6.56; 5.44-7, ATR 9.4±2.9° Bunnell, Risser 2; 1-3, BMI 19.34. Outcome measure: Cobb angle, TRACE, ATR. Statistical Analysis: ANOVA, Chi Square, P<0.05.

The SPoRT concept of bracing for idiopathic scoliosis.
The SPoRT (acronym: Symmetrical, Patient-oriented, Rigid, Three-dimensional, active) concept of bracing is a new way to build braces based on our 20 years of experience and the biomechanical principles of scoliosis correction, inclusive of the Sibilla and Sforzesco braces. The concept always requires a custom brace, which is made according to the patient's individual requirements. New technolog...
