DOI: 10.1007/s00586-017-4985-y
Abstract: PurposeOverweight was found to be a negative predictor of brace effectiveness for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), with a threefold higher risk of progression than in normal weight patients. The aim of this study is to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00586-019-05948-9
Abstract: AbstractPurposeBracing is the most commonly used treatment for scoliosis. But braces remain predominantly “handcrafted.” Our objective was to create a novel brace simulator using a high-fidelity 3D “avatar” of the patient’s trunk.MethodsAn observational cross-sectional study… read more here.
