TLDR
The Scoliosis Analog Model was developed to provide first time measures of the multidirectional forces applied to the spine by a thoracolumbar brace and could be used as a future design and testing tool for scoliosis brace technology.Abstract:
IntroductionThoracolumbar braces are used to treat Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. The objective of this study was to design and validate a mechanical analog model of the spine to simulate a thora...read more

TL;DR: In this article, the results of numerical finite element method (FEM) simulations of a Boston Orthopedic Brace in the Ansys environment are presented, where a reverse engineering methodology based on digitization by means of a three-dimensional (3D) optical scanner was employed to develop the geometric model.

Effects of bracing in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis
TL;DR: Bracing significantly decreased the progression of high-risk curves to the threshold for surgery in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and the benefit increased with longer hours of brace wear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
TL;DR: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a common problem; its prevalence in the general population is about 1.8 percent, if minor curvatures of 5 to 10 degrees are included.

TL;DR: It is established that the EOS system offers overall enhanced image quality while reducing drastically the entrance dose for the patient, and is validated by comparing a new slot-scanner to a CR system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
TL;DR: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common spinal deformity seen by primary care physicians, paediatricians, and spinal surgeons and the diagnosis, management, and controversies surrounding this condition are reviewed.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: radiologic decision-making.
TL;DR: There is no difference in the prevalence of back pain or mortality between patients with untreated adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and the general population, and many patients referred to physicians for evaluation ofScoliosis do not need radiographic evaluation, back examinations, or treatment.
