چکیده
Methods Study design: retrospective controlled study. Population: Rigid Brace Groups (RBGs) 20 patients (16 female), age 13±1, Cobb 24±5°, ATR 8±3°, TRACE score 7, Risser 0-3. Spinecor Group (SG): 41 patients (33 females) age 13±1, Cobb angle 24±5°, ATR 8±3°, TRACE score 6, Risser 0-3. Both groups were treated with a full-time brace (18 to 23 hours per day upon initial prescription). Clinical and radiological evaluations were performed at the beginning and end of treatment. Main outcome measures: Cobb angle (changes > ±5), ATR, TRACE (changes ≥3). Statistics: Chi square, t-test.

BACKGROUND SpineCor is a relatively new bracing system that uses dynamic bracing concepts in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Limited data are available regarding its effectiveness. This study compared treatment outcomes of 2 groups of AIS patients treated via either a conventional rigid thoracolumbosacral orthoses (TLSO) or a SpineCor nonrigid orthosis. METHODS We iden...
