Predictors for long-term curve progression after Boston brace treatment of idiopathic scoliosis.

CONCLUSIONS: The best predictors for a long-term success were good redressement and compliance, unchanged or reduced major curve after one year and short treatment time. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Predictors at baseline and during early treatment can help identifying patients who benefit from bracing. PMID: 33016064 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
