Abstract
Study design A prospective roentgenographic study was carried out on sixty-seven patients affected with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Treatment with the PASB was preceded by corrective plaster casts (1 or 2 depending on the stiffness of the curve). The magnitude of the curve was measured with the Cobb's method and vertebral torsion within the major curve with Perdriolle's method [1,2]. Radiographic measurements were obtained at the following times by three observers: t1 (start of treatment), t2 (best correction in brace), t3 (intermediate time between t2 and t4), t4 (end of weaning) and t5 (last follow-up, 36.37 ± 11.71 months after t4).

The aim of the study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the Progressive Action Short Brace (P.A.S.B.)
The action of this brace, developed by the authors, is based on the corrective effect of the forces generated during spine dynamics, when spine dynamics are limited by the brace
