In-brace corrections in patients with kyphosis using the kyphologic® brace
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Little is known about the in-brace correction effects of braces used for the treatment of kyphosis. While Bradford et al. have found their attempts effective, treating Scheuermann's kyphosis with Milwaukee braces, they did not report on in-brace corrections. According to White and Panjabi, it seems the appropriate approach is to try to correct a curvature of > 50° with the help of distraction forces; however, patient comfort is largely reduced in the Milwaukee brace. Therefore, in Germany, braces generally prescribed for kyphosis treatment are using transverse correction forces only. Our efforts to reduce brace material have resulted in a special bracing design called Kyphologic® brace.
