Abstract
Efficacy of brace therapy was studied in 976 patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) aged, 5 to 17 years. The principal curvature made up from 18° to 160°. Chкneau braces were used as orthoses. Treatment course was divided into the period of adaptation to brace wearing, period of primary correction, period of brace retention and period of follow up after brace treatment completion. Achieved results showed that in IS brace treatment provided good corrective and stabilizing effect upon scoliotic spine deformity. Clinically it enabled to eliminate completely, diminish or stabilize deformity manifestations of orthopaedic disease. In severe forms of IS it enabled to control the pathologic process conservatively until the spine growth completion.
