Abstract
Background The success of TLSOs in reducing the risk of curve progression varies widely across published reports. This variation has been linked to patient risk factors such as initial Cobb angle and maturity, and time in brace. Percentage correction has also been associated with outcomes. [1-3] However, no reports have examined characteristics of individual braces, and how these characteristics influence percentage correction, compliance, and eventual outcome.
Highlights
The success of TLSOs in reducing the risk of curve progression varies widely across published reports
BrAIST includes evaluation of the bracing customization process and immediate outcome of each brace worn in the trial
Each is reviewed by an independent committee of at least 2 orthotists, and 2 pediatric orthopedic surgeons
Summary
The success of TLSOs in reducing the risk of curve progression varies widely across published reports. This variation has been linked to patient risk factors such as initial Cobb angle and maturity, and time in brace. Percentage correction has been associated with outcomes. [1-3] no reports have examined characteristics of individual braces, and how these characteristics influence percentage correction, compliance, and eventual outcome. Aims To report the BrAIST Bracing Evaluation Committee findings to-date
