Comparison of in-and outpatients protocols for providence night time only bracing in AIS patients -- compliance and satisfaction
Conclusion:
Outpatient initiation of bracing in scoliosis seems to give the same correction but better compliance compared to initiation during hospitalization. (Source: Scoliosis)

Whither the etiopathogenesis (and scoliogeny) of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis? Incorporating presentations on scoliogeny at the 2012 IRSSD and SRS Meetings
This paper aims to integrate into current understanding of AIS causation, etiopathogenetic information presented at two Meetings during 2012 namely, the International Research Society of Spinal Deformities (IRSSD) and the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS). The ultimate hope is to prevent the occurrence or progression of the spinal deformity of AIS with non-invasive treatment, possibly medical. This might be attained by personalised polymechanistic preventive therapy targeting the appropriate etiology and/or etiopathogenetic pathways, to avoid fusion and maintain spinal mobility. Although considerable progress had been made ...

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 mini...

Comparison of trunk and spine deformity in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Background:
Cobb measurement of standing radiographs is the standard for clinical assessment of coronal spinal deformity. Angle of trunk inclination (ATI) is an accepted clinical measurement of trunk asymmetry, and has variable reported correlations with Cobb angles. Transverse plane spine deformity is most accurately measured using axial computed tomography. Aaro and Dahlbourn's technique for quantifying apical vertebral rotation with respect to the sagittal plane (RAsag) is commonly reported in the literature. To our knowledge no study has correlated ATI with RAsag. The purpose of this study was to determine the relation...
