Ultrasound-assisted brace casting for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, IRSSD Best research paper 2014

Background Bracetreatment is the most effective non-surgical treatment for AIS. High initial in- bracecorrection increases successful bracetreatment outcomes. The objective of this study was to investigate if real-time ultrasound (US) can aid orthotists in selecting the pad pressure level and location resulting in optimal in- bracecorrection of the spine.
