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.
