چکیده
Results The mean primary right thoracic curve was 29° uncorrected; the mean secondary curve measured 19°. In the Boston brace group the mean primary right thoracic curve was 22° ; the mean secondary curve measured 16°. The mean corrective force over the lumbar brace pad in standing position was 382 N; over the thoracic brace pad it was 285 N. In the M brace group the mean primary right thoracic curve was 20° ; the mean secondary curve measured 13°. The mean corrective force over the lumbar brace pad in standing position was 373 N; over the thoracic brace pad it was 311 N. Difference in M-brace and Boston brace was not significant, for the lumbar brace pad: 0.12, for the thoracic brace pad 0.07 with ANOVA analysis.

First results of the Maastricht brace in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Background The Maastricht brace (M-brace) was developed to improve compliance and associated efficacy of brace treatment in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Initial pressure measurements in the M-brace revealed a higher corrective pressure as compared to the Boston brace, and a better patient reported quality of life, as measured with the SRS 22 and Brace questionnaire. We present the fir...

متن کاملImproved Seismic Performance of Chevron Brace Frames Using Multi-Pipe Yield Dampers
Spacious experimental and numerical investigation has been conducted by researchers to increase the ductility and energy dissipation of concentrically braced frames. One of the most widely used strategies for increasing ductility and energy dissiption, is the use of energy-absorbing systems. In this regard, the cyclic behavior of a chevron bracing frame system equipped with multi-pipe dampers (...
