The Boston Brace 3D

The Boston Brace 3D® (AT016-3B)

The Boston Brace 3D® orthosis is the natural evolution of the Boston Brace System used in the nonoperative team approach for the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis. This recent innovation came from reviewing the orthotists' outcome data from our Boston Orthotics & Prosthetics clinics. The clinical management team noticed that our New Jersey location was showing improved results compared to the literature and our other clinics. The New Jersey clinic had embraced scanning and had begun to develop a unique, internal corrective force manipulation of the patient’s scan, creating an asymmetrical model over which the brace was fabricated. So, unlike the original Boston Brace, which is fabricated over a symmetrical model and then made asymmetrical through trimlines and padding, this brace has asymmetry built in, but it still allows for adjustments through pad placement and vector force.
