Scoliosis Back

The SpineCor system is a flexible brace that is principally prescribed for Idiopathic Scoliosis patients with a Cobb angle between 15° and 50° and Risser sign 0 to 3. The brace is fitted on the patient in accordance to a sub-classification of the traditional SRS definition of curve types. The SpineCor Assistant Software guides the treatment provider through the fitting process. The brace is prescribed to be worn by the patients 20 out of 24 hours per day until they have reached maturity, with radiological evaluations performed prior to and immediately following the fitting of the brace, and every 4 to 6 months afterwards.

To accommodate for growth and postural changes, corrective bands need to be adjusted frequently and require replacement each 6-12 months for optimum brace performance. Major brace components can last from 1.5 - 2 years. A patient manual is provided that guides the patient in properly wearing the brace, as well as maintenance. The SpineCor brace must only be fitted by a SpineCor accredited practitioner who has attended 4 days of intensive training and fitted a minimum number of patients under supervision. It is also suggested that prescribing doctors attend some training in order to effectively monitor and manage this treatment using very different treatment principles and protocols.
