Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is a common spinal abnormality, in which orthotic management can reduce progression to surgery. However, predictors of bracing success are still not fully understood. We stud...
We retrospectively reviewed patients with IS meeting Scoliosis Research Society inclusion and assessment criteria presenting from April 1994 to June 2020 at a single institution and treated with a Pro...
There were 329 consecutive patients with IS with a mean age of 12.8 ± 1.4 years that met inclusion and assessment criteria. Of these, 113 patients (34%) ultimately required surgery. The model's area u...
Out of 329 patients with IS treated with a Providence nighttime orthosis, 34% required surgery. This is similar to the findings of the BrAist study of the Boston orthosis, in which 28% of monitored br...
Juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (JIS) outcomes with brace treatment are limited with poorly described bracing protocols. Between 49 and 100% of children with JIS will progress to surgery, however, young...
This is a single-center retrospective review of 175 patients with JIS who initiated brace treatment between the age of 4 and 9 years. A cohort of 140 children reached skeletal maturity; 91 children ha...
Children were average 7.9 years old (range 4.1-9.8) at the initiation of bracing. The Boston brace™ was prescribed in 82 patients and nine used night bending brace. Mid-thoracic curves (53%) was the m...
This large series of JIS patients with bracing followed to skeletal maturity with long-term follow-up. Surgery was avoided in 33% of children with minimal to no progression, and no child underwent pos...
Although skeletal maturity and brace wear time contribute to the success of brace treatment in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), the extent of initial in-brace correction for ensuring successful ...
The study included 135 AIS patients with a major Cobb angle of 20°-40° treated with a thoracic lumbosacral orthosis for at least one year and followed up for skeletal maturity. The subjects were divid...
In both groups, the mean major Cobb angles before treatment, while wearing the brace, and at the end of brace treatment were 30.6°/31.7°, 22.9°/24.2°, and 38.8°/33.9° (p < 0.05), respectively, and the...
In-brace major scoliosis correction of <25° in patients with immature skeletal status and <30° in patients with mature skeletal structure should be aimed at to achieve significant brace treatment succ...
Retrospective cohort study....
Bracing is an accepted standard therapy for idiopathic scoliosis at Cobb angle ranges between 25° and 40°. However, it is unclear, if a specifically tailored regimen of daytime and nighttime braces (=...
One-hundred-fifteen patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) were assessed before initiation of bracing treatment and at the final follow-up 2 years after deposition of the brace. They were...
Both therapy regimens succeeded to either stop progression or improve scoliosis in over 85% of cases. The nighttime brace showed a significantly higher primary correction than the daytime brace. Never...
It seems to be sufficient to treat idiopathic scoliosis with one well-tailored brace for day- and nighttime....
Retrospective cohort study....
To assess if initial adherence to prescribed brace wear for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) predicts future adherence and curve improvement....
AIS bracing can be effective if patients adhere to prescribed brace wear. Previous research has associated age, sex, and brace prescription length with future adherence. We hypothesize that a patient'...
Consecutive AIS patients who met the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) criteria for bracing from 2015 to 2019 at a single center were reviewed. Patients were stratified into groups based on their adher...
Sixty patients (mean age=12.5 yr) were included, of which the majority were females (83%) with thoracic curves (70%). Thirty-two patients were considered adherent, and this cohort demonstrated improve...
Initial adherence to prescribed AIS brace wear was associated with future adherence, bracing success, and curve improvement. Early recognition of nonadherence may offer an opportunity for supportive i...
Although bracing for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis can prevent curve progression and reduce the risk for future surgery, children frequently do not wear their braces as prescribed. The purpose of th...
This was a single institution, prospective cohort study. All adolescents prescribed a first-time brace for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were eligible. Patients and their parents completed a separat...
A total of 41 patients were included. On average, patients with high self-esteem, above average peer relationships and poor brace-specific attitudes had lower brace compliance, although patients with ...
This prospective study identifies numerous baseline psychosocial factors that are associated with future compliance with scoliosis brace wear. Although in need of further validation before widespread ...

Lack of initial in-brace correction is strongly predictive for brace treatment failure in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. Computer-aided design (CAD) technology could be useful in quan...
Twenty-five AIS patients receiving a CAD-based Boston brace were included in this pilot study consisting of 11 patients with Lenke classification type 1 and 14 with type 5 curves. The degree of torso ...
The mean IBC of the major curve on AP view was 15.9% (SD = 9.1%) for the Lenke type 1 curves, and 20.1% (SD = 13.9%) for the type 5 curves. The degree of torso asymmetry was weakly correlated with pat...
Based on the results of this pilot study, the degree of torso asymmetry and segmental peak torso displacements in the brace model alone are not clearly associated with IBC....
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a 3D spinal deformity and mostly affects children in the age group of 10-16 years. Bracing is the most widely recommended nonoperative treatment modality for scolios...
Serial casting as one of the applications to treat early-onset scoliosis has been reported efficiently to improve deformity, but no report has focused on the efficacy of braces in the treatment of con...
This work proposes an innovative method, based on the use of low-cost infrared thermography (IRT) instrumentation, to assess in real time the effectiveness of scoliosis braces. Establishing the effect...
