Study of the corrective forces applied by a dynamic derotation brace (DDB)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background and purpose The direct forces exerted by the brace pad were analysed, on 44 idiopathic scoliotic patients (38 girls, 6 boys) treated with a DDB [1]. Twenty seven patients had a single right thoracic curve and 17 had a single left or right thoracolumbar curve. The aim was the analysis of the corrective forces, exerted at the skin-brace interface, by altering the posture, activity and strap tension [2-7].

Brace technology thematic series: the dynamic derotation brace
BACKGROUND The dynamic derotation brace (DDB) was designed in Greece in 1982, as a modification of the Boston brace. It is a custom-made, underarm spinal orthosis featuring aluminium blades set to produce derotating and anti-rotating effects on the thorax and trunk of patients with scoliosis. It is indicated for the non-operative correction of most curves, barring the very high thoracic ones, (...
