Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
Our primary objective is to compare the two braces, the classic Boston brace and new developed brace, by means of comparing body brace interface pressure and measured Cobbs angles on the control X-rays.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Compliance is necessary to have good results with brace treatment in idiopathic scoliosis. therefore we have developed a brace with probably a higher acceptance and comfort by giving more freedom of motion and a bace closure in front of the brace. We want to test the effectiveness of the new developed brace with the most used boston brace. This is performed with spinal x-rays and pressure measurements.
Doel van het onderzoek
The new brace is efficient in correcting of idiopathic scoliosis compared to the Boston brace measure with spinal x-rays and pressure measurements.
Onderzoeksopzet
