TLDR
The new segmental moulding with final detorsion is even more efficient and to this day the ARTbrace is the most effective to reduce the Cobb angle of scoliosis.
Abstract
Background The symmetrical Lyon brace is a brace, usually used to maintain correction after a plaster cast reduction in the Cotrel’s EDF (Elongation-Derotation-Flexion) frame. The new Lyon brace or ARTbrace is an immediate corrective brace based on some of the principles of the plaster cast which are improved due to advances in CAD/CAM technology. The aim of this paper is to describe concepts of this new brace to be not only a replacement of the plaster cast, but also a definitive brace.

Bracing In The Treatment Of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Evidence To Date.

TL;DR: Despite the growing evidence for brace effectiveness, there is still an imperative need for future high methodological quality studies to be conducted and the addition of physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises in brace treatment can provide better outcomes.

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.

Standardization of criteria for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis brace studies: SRS Committee on Bracing and Nonoperative Management.

TL;DR: Optimal inclusion criteria for future adolescent idiopathic scoliosis brace studies consist of: age is 10 years or older when brace is prescribed, Risser 0−2, primary curve angles 25°−40°, no prior treatment, and, if female, either premenarchal or less than 1 year post menarchal.
