چکیده
Background The Maastricht brace (M-brace) was developed to improve compliance and associated efficacy of brace treatment in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Initial pressure measurements in the M-brace revealed a higher corrective pressure as compared to the Boston brace, and a better patient reported quality of life, as measured with the SRS 22 and Brace questionnaire. We present the first results of the efficacy in terms of curve correction of the M-brace in AIS.
