Measurement of Milwaukee Brace Pad Pressure in Adolescent Round Back Deformity Treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: In the sitting position, there was a trend toward lower forces at the skin-brace interface; therefore, brace adjustment in the standing position may be useful and more effective. There was no significant correlation between the magnitude of the pad pressures and the degree of in-brace curve correction.
