Results of the initial in-brace correction-effect

چکیده
Background Brace treatment for scoliosis is effective. The short term in-brace correction of the Cobb angle is associated with end results and success of bracing. Irrespective of the factors which determine the correction the measurement of the Cobb angle is a possibility to evaluate the brace quality. We have investigated the braces from one orthotist over a fixed period of time and have described the connection between age, initial Cobb angle and the achieved correction effect.

Background: A thoracic curve degree of greater than 45° leads to thoracic hyperkyphosis, and its common treatment method is orthotic treatment. The acceptance rate of spinal orthosis depends on in-brace correction, patient`s compliance and quality of life. Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare in-brace correction, compliance and quality of life in patients with thoracic hyperkyphosis ...

Results For the 22 symmetric CAD TLSOs, initial in brace correction of thoracic curves was 9.1 degrees, with average out of brace thoracic curve 25.2 degrees, and lumbar curve correction of 10.3 degrees, with average out of brace lumbar curve 27.8 degrees. The percentage of correction in CAD versions was 36.1% thoracic, and 37.1% lumbar. For the 12 asymmetric, TLSOs molded supine with manipulat...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective controlled cohort study comparing the in-brace correction of two samples of scoliosis patients with braces of different computer aided design (CAD). PURPOSE In-brace correction and compliance correlate with outcome. The more standardized CAD braces that are available should enable improved in-brace correction and outcome. This study compared recent CAD brace develop...

Purpose: Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine in which the resulting imbalance accompanied by the changes in muscle and nervous components can harm the postural control. Various treatments have been suggested so far to correct scoliosis, in which using corrective exercises along with brace are essential to limit the growing curvature, improve spine stability and postural cont...

Background: Osteoporosis and hyperkyphosis could impose a considerable financial and therapeutic burden on the affected society. Thus, new strategies to prevent or manage such complications are of significant importance. Here we evaluate the effect of ‘Dynamic Hyperextension Brace’ (DHB) on bone density, and hyperkyphosis correction. Methods:Sixty postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to ...
