Excerpt

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a four dimensional deformity of the spine arising in otherwise healthy children during puberty. The fourth dimension is time. This dimension is the characteristic of our database created in 1998 with systematic reconvening of our patients at regular intervals which increases the level of scientific evidence [1]. The use of a brace in the conservative treatment for AIS plays an important role and has the aim to stop the evolution of the deformity in immature adolescents in order to prevent problems during adulthood [2, 3]. Long-term follow-ups indicate that patients with scoliosis may have a higher prevalence of back pain and of worsening pulmonary function if the curve becomes extremely severe [4]. A randomized control trial BRAIST study conducted by Weinstein showed that bracing is significantly effective in reducing the progression of AIS [5]. Previously, a Cochrane review [6] also demonstrated the effectiveness of bracing in the treatment of AIS. …
