چکیده
Results Prior to participating the present study, the mean duration of brace treatment was 25.5 months for the Boston brace and 13.9 months for the Brace 2000. In the Boston brace group, the mean primary right thoracic curve was 35.8°, and the mean secondary curve measured 24.1°. The mean corrective force over the lumbar brace pad in standing position was 394 N, and over the thoracic brace pad was 453 N. In the Brace 2000 group, the mean primary right thoracic curve was 30.9°, and the mean secondary curve measured 16.0°. The mean corrective force over the lumbar brace pad in standing position was 404 N, and over the thoracic brace pad it was 567 N.

متن کاملUltra-Low Cycle Fatigue Fracture Life of a Type of Buckling Restrained Brace
Buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) for seismic load resistance have been widely used in recent years. One of the key requirements for a buckling restrained brace is to sustain large plastic deformations under severe ground motions. The core of a buckling restrained brace is prone to fatigue fracture under cyclic loading. The earthquake induced fracture type of the core plate in a bucklin...

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 fir...
