当科における特発性側弯症に対する under-arm brace の治療成績

抄録

The results of the brace treatment with under-arm were studied in 10 patients with idiopathic scoliosis, who were braces for an average of 26 months from 6 to 17 years. The mean curvature was 31.7 degrees and the average correction at end results was 25 degrees. There was a significant difference between the final correction and the best correction in brace, between the final and the initial correction. 3 cases who showed progression in the brace, were over 16 years old at the initial stage.
