The Carbon brace

Conclusions: The CMCR brace is innovative for several reasons:The use of prestressed carbon to correct deformations without preventing chest movements and thus preserve respiratory capacity with brace.The use of Orten(R) computer system to obtain the trunk print, which allows a follow-up of aesthetic evolution from the beginning to the end of treatment. [1]The use of mobile pads to gradually correct scoliosis, by conforming to stiffness areas that will appear throughout the patient growth.The use of 3D radiological analysis before brace design and at the late adaptation to get an optimal correction of scoliosis, using minimal support forces in order to lead to a harmonious cervical, dorsal and lumbar profile. [3]Orthopaedic treatment is still a heavy treatment for teenagers in growth period. This orthosis is designed to partly maintain spine and chest mobility. We hope so to have part in improving life conditions of these teenagers, compared to those treated with rigid braces.
