Summary
Bracing is an accepted standard therapy for idiopathic scoliosis at Cobb angle ranges between 25° and 45°. However, it is unclear, if a specifically tailored regimen of daytime and nighttime braces (=double brace) yields superior results compared to the standard treatment (single brace for day and night). These two treatment regimens were investigated in the study.
Detailed description
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 divided into two groups: double-brace group and single-brace group. Each patient underwent clinical and radiological examinations and Cobb angles were measured.
