Compliance and satisfaction of TLI-bracing in kyphotic and scoliotic deformities in relation with intrinsic dynamic aspects

Outcome Compliance was estimated by physician and parents and scored poorly in 5.5%, fair in 30.8%, and good in 61% (Unknown 2%). Progressive alterations in shape by adding pads to increase lordosis at the TL joint and bending the sternal support backward were done a mean of 5.1 times by the orthotist. No skin sores were reported. 58.2% and 26.4% were respectively satisfied or very satisfied with the whole treatment course. The ease of brace wearing scored very good in 11%, good in 46.2%, and fair in 25.3%. With respect to overall satisfaction of perceived results, 34.1% were very satisfied, 45.1% were satisfied, 9.9% were neutral, and 6.6% were unsatisfied. Different subgroups were studied and will be presented (figure 1). from 6th International Conference on Conservative Management of Spinal Deformities Lyon, France. 21-23 May 2009
