Boston Brace Correction in Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Biomechanical Study
Posted 09/23/2003 Delphine Périé, PhD , Carl-Eric Aubin, PhD, Yvan Petit, PhD, Marie Beauséjour, MSc, Jean Dansereau, PhD, Hubert Labelle, PhD, MD
Conclusion: High thoracic pads reduced more effectively both thoracic and lumbar scoliotic curves than lumbar pads only. The study suggests that mechanisms other than brace pads produce correction and contribute to the force equilibrium within the brace.
