Abstract
Conclusion This study supports an alternative brace technique for treatment of scoliosis and kyphosis with pure lordosis at the thoracolumbar joint, including periodical adjustments combining passive and active components in redressing tensions. Significant reduction of scoliotic and kyphotic curves is possible during growth. By stepwise restoration of thoracolumbar lordosis and preventing overload in compression during sitting creates improved conditions. Good compliance and satisfaction seems part of the process.
Highlights
Brace treatment options in idiopathic spinal deformities are limited
Most correctional forces are aimed at the apices of curves in scoliosis and in kyphosis
In the sagittal plane even after a full year, a significant correction was seen in the thoracic and thoracolumbar curves
Summary
Brace treatment options in idiopathic spinal deformities are limited. Most correctional forces are aimed at the apices of curves in scoliosis and in kyphosis. Psychological drawbacks and discomfort in stiff, unnatural designed orthoses result in unsatisfactory compliance
