Evaluation of conservative scoliosis treatment compliance

چکیده
Methods We examined 106 patients (96 females, 10 males) affected by AIS. The patients were treated with different types of orthoses (Lionese, Milwaukee, P.A.S.B., Lionese+P.A.S.B., Milwaukee+P.A.S.B., Milwaukee+Lionese). In order to evaluate the compliance and the final results related to the patient's behavior, we considered the following: the patient's compliance as related to bracing method, sex, trend of the spine curve, and age; the degree of scoliosis; and the duration of treatment.
