Bracing for Early Onset Scoliosis

Bracing for Early Onset Scoliosis (AT015-1B)

Early onset scoliosis (EOS) brace treatment protocols, types, and quality vary depending on where and who is providing the treatment. Treatment must be individualized for each patient using the highest level of care, skill, quality, technique, and follow-up. Incorrect design can have along-lasting negative impact on the patient’s disability and quality of life. The prognosis for patients with EOS depends on the severity of the scoliosis and the underlying conditions associated with the case. This article discusses scoliosis brace characteristics for patients diagnosed with idiopathic EOS.
